History
Brúará translates to Bridge River and gets its name from a natural stone arch that used to go across it, over the waterfall Brúarfoss. The bridge was walkable but collapsed many years ago. According to legend, a worker from the nearby farmstead Skálholt broke the bridge to hinder the traffic of outlaws.
In 1433, Danish bishop Jón Gerreksson was put in a bag, bound to a stone and drowned in the river. His sons were subsequently apprehended and murdered, but Jón had failed to send them out of the country as proclaimed by a 1431 verdict of Alþingi, Iceland’s legislative body.
