Iceland Trip Day Six November 2023

            Deildartunguhver is located in west Iceland. The two most notable points of interest nearby are two waterfalls, Hraunfossar and Barnafoss
.
They are called Hraunfossar, which translates to "Lava waterfalls", and Barnafoss, which means "Children´s waterfall"

Hraunfossar, or the ‘Lava Falls’, is, in fact, a series of tiny cascades that trickle through an old lava field. Barnafoss, or ‘the Children’s Falls’, is a more powerful rapid, steeped in a dark legend.

According to legend Barnafoss takes its name from two children who fell into the waterfall. 

The story is something like this: Long time ago there was a widow living on a farm nearby with her two young children. 

One day the widow went to a Christmas service but left her children at home. When the widow came back from the evening service her children had disappeared. People went searching and found their footsteps leading to the stone arch over the river. 

Their mother had the arch destroyed promising that no one would ever cross the falls alive again. Iceland has many spooky stories like this one makes places even more interesting.
