2 Best Sights in Húsafell, West Iceland and Snæfellsnes Peninsula

As opposed to stronger, more intimidating waterfalls like Dettifoss, Hraunfossar (Lava Waterfalls) is a series of delicately flowing rivulets over the Hallmundarhraun lava field. Located about an hour's drive north of Reykjavík, this is a great (and less crowded) alternative to the waterfalls you'll find along the Golden Circle. Don't miss the nearby Barnafoss, another waterfall, which is located a quick walk down the Hvitá River.

Weighing in around 410 pounds, the Húsafell Stone was once used as a measure of strength by men hoping to score a job on nearby working ships. Even before that, it functioned as a gate for a sheep pen built by Snorri Björnsson in the 18th century. Today, you can try and lift it for fun (and bragging rights).
