Hraunfossar (meaning "lava falls") is an intriguing series of springs coming out of the Hallmundarhraun lava flow appearing like a long 900m strand of cascades laced within the rough grooves of the lava. It's hard to photograph the entirety of the falls due to its length. You can take a short detour away from the Ring Road to see this falls (near Reykholt and Húsafell). Nearby this waterfall is Barnafoss.The approach we took left the Ring Road along Route 50 heading east then along the Route 518, which followed the Hvitá River, all the way to the well-signed car park.
