The Blue Waterfall - a photo on Flickriver

The Blue Waterfall

            The Bruarfos waterfall is situated along the the road 355 of Iceland, which is the same one to Geysir and Gullfoss. Brúará River feeds Bruarfoss Waterfall, while the melting Langjökull Glacier causes the milky blue color of the river.
How did the waterfall get its name?
Centuries ago, a natural stone bridge was above the river, acting as a bridge, therefore the name, Bridge Waterfall.
Even though the stone arch already collapsed (a legend says it was at the beginning of the 17th century), the name survived.
The in-and-out trail to Bruarfoss Waterfall is 3.5 kilometers one way, so you need to retrace your steps to get back to the parking lot due to the nature of the track.
It took us less than two hours to reach the last waterfall and return to our car, including many photos stops.
