About

Brúarfoss is a 3-meter waterfall on the Brúará river in Iceland's South Coast.

Extensive birch scrub surrounds the waterfall and the river. Within walking distance of the falls are three summer-house areas: Miðhúsaskógur, Brekkuskógur and Reykjaskógur. The waterfall lies a little over 2 kilometres north of Laugarvatnsvegur (the Laugarvatn road).
