Stóragjá Gorge

Just go in and stay a moment.

No matter what else is, the pool is always open

Stóragjá is a little-known gorge that houses a cave filled with naturally heated geothermal water. It is often overlooked in favor of the Grótagjá Cave, which became famous in the Game of Thrones series. Although it is less known, it is definitely worth a visit and has much less crowds.
To reach the azure geothermal waters, you have to descend a very narrow gorge and then climb into the cave using ropes and carved steps. Although it may be tempting, it is strongly discouraged to bathe in Stóragjá due to dangerous algae that cause the beautiful blue color. Due to the lack of filtration, it also contains unhealthy levels of bacteria such as E. coli from previous bathers.
