    The pool has over 1000 years of history but was only reconstructed and reopened in 2009 after spending 140 years blocked by a landslide. Guðrúnarlaug's name comes from its original owner, Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir, who is a character in Iceland’s most famous love triangle, detailed in the fantastic Saga Laxdæla. Literature fans will get a special kick out of this backstory, but for any seeking to unwind, it a perfect place to stop and bask.

      Super cozy and natural source. Temperature fluctuates here and we were in the blizzard at about 28 degrees. So it was a little refreshing but great!

        Idyllic, public spring. The small wooden hut is used to move and store luggage.
