Brúarfoss (Bridge Waterfall) is a lovely waterfall in
Biskupstungur in the South West region. It is one of the hidden gems of
Iceland because you can’t see it from the road and there are no signs
directing you to it. It is in the Golden Circle area, and you should
absolutely make time to see it if you are in the area. The waterfall
derives its name from a natural stone arch that went over the river near
the waterfall in earlier times. A legend says that early in the 16th
century, the butler in Skálholt ordered the arch to be broken to prevent
beggars and vagabonds from entering the Skálholt land. Poetic justice
was served, as the butler drowned in Brúará River shortly after.
