Þórufoss
Í Þrengslum sem áður getur er hár og fagur foss í Laxá sem heitir Þórufoss. Sagan segir að fossinn sé kenndur við kerlingu eina sem bjó á Selflötum (aðrir segja í Stíflisdal) og sótti mikla björg í fossinn. Átti hún að hafa drukknað við þann starfa. Ekki fylgdi sögunni hvernig hún veiddi laxinn. En lax kemst ekki upp þennan foss. Önnur saga segir að í Brattafellsgili hafi búið tröllskessa sem hét Þóra og sé fossinn við hana kenndur.
