Bjarnafoss
📍 West Iceland
📖 Description
Bjarnafoss cascades down a steep green mountainside directly above the coast on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The falls are visible from the road and from the sea, where they served as a navigational landmark for sailors for centuries. Few tourists venture this far along the south coast of Snæfellsnes, making this a genuinely tranquil stop.
