Brúarfoss photo spot

The Bruarfoss Waterfall is a hidden natural gem located in the Western Icelandic countryside. Enjoy its beautiful blue waters as you travel the Golden Circle route. The perfect addition to a day trip in Iceland! Brúarfoss may be a small waterfall, tucked away in a remote area of West Iceland. But its fame comes from the magnificent shade of blue-colored water in its rapids. The appeal of this hidden gem also comes from the 2-3 kilometer hike needed to find it. It’s not the easiest waterfall to find. Located 3 km from the road between Laugarvatn village and Geysir geothermal area, the fall is fed by the river Brúará. The water is a captivating shade of bright blue, totally breathtaking and like nothing you’ve seen in nature before. Perfect for photographing! The proper walking path to the waterfall is on private property and is now closed to the public. This is due to disrespectful treatment of the path and littering in the surrounding area where the few are ruining it for the many. Instead, there is now a much longer but more scenic way around!
