Hraunfossar er samheiti á ótal blátærum, fossandi lindum sem koma undan Hallmundarhrauni og renna í Hvítá. Hallmundarhraun er helluhraun og er talið myndað skömmu fyrir landnám Íslands, að öllum líkindum laust fyrir árið 800, og kennt við Hallmund þann sem Grettis saga segir að ætti sé bústað á þessum slóðum. Úrkoma sem fellur á hraunið og jarðvatn sem síast frá jöklunum rennur á milli hraunlaga og kemur fram sem grunnvatn og myrdar Hraunfossa. Vatnið kemur hér fram undan hraunlögunum á um 1 km löngu bili. Falla þar fram í Hvítá ótal bunur og fossar, milli kletta og skógarkjarrs, allan ársins hring. Barnnafoss er þrenging í Hvítá og er þekkt fyrir brýr og steinboga sem áin hefur markað í bergið með ógnarkrafti sínum. Meðal rennsli árinnar er 80m3/s en hefur í flóðum mælst allt að 500m3/s en þá flæðir áin upp úr þengingunum og yfir nærliggjandi svæði eins og umhverfið ber með sér. Svæðið var friðlýst áið 1987.
The Hraunfossar waterfalls consist of countless springs of clear water that emerge from under the edge of the lava field Hallmundarhraun and flow into the river Hvitá. Hallmundarhraun consists of pillow lava and is believed to have been formed in about 800 AD, shortly before the first recorded settlers arrived in Iceland. It is named after Hallmundur, who according to Grettis saga lived in the area. Surface water and meltwater from the glaciers runs between the lava layers and emerges to form the Hraunfossar falls, which are about 1 km wide and splash down into the Hvítá aming the rocks and birch-scrub vegetation all year long. The waterfall Barnafoss (Children's Falls) stone arches and sculpted the rocks with its violent force. The average flow- rate is 80 m3/s, but in flood it has reached up to 500 m3/s; when this happens the river breaks out of the narrow channel and floods over the surrounding area, as can be seen from the landscape. The area was declared a national monument in 1987.
