Step off the well-known tourist track andamp; visit 2 of Icelandandrsquo;s lesser known waterfalls
Hraunfossar -The Childrenandrsquo;s Waterfall
Hraunfossar is not your usual waterfall – itandrsquo;s formed of multiple streams, coming from beneath an ancient lava flow, spanning over 900 meters. Being outside of the classic tourist routes, itandrsquo;s a place with a particularly peaceful atmosphere.
The waterfall is even more beautiful in the winter months when the water freezes and turns into spectacular giant icicles.
The story behind the name
The name Hraunfossar, which means Childrenandrsquo;s Waterfall in Icelandic, has rather dark roots. According to the legend, there used to be a natural bridge over the waterfall, from which two local children fell to their deaths. Their grieving mother is said to have destroyed the bridge in her despair.
The Troll Waterfall
Immerse in the world of tales at the waterfall in Grimsandaacute; – home of the trolls. See the giant troll face, formed in the rocks, overseeing the water and delve into the Icelandic folklore.
Explore a cave entirely made of ice
Set foot on the majestic Langjandouml;kull glacier – follow the man-made ice tunnels that take you into the glacier itself.
Enter a fairy-tale like space, as you find yourself surrounded by crystal clear blue ice. Youandrsquo;ll feel like youandrsquo;re visiting Elsaandrsquo;s frozen kingdom of Arendelle!
