Guðrúnarlaug

The stone-lined thermal pool contains mineral-rich waters maintaining temperatures between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius throughout all seasons of the year.

A landslide buried the original hot spring for 140 years until local residents reconstructed it, preserving the connection to medieval Icelandic history.

The spring bears the name of Gudrun Osvifursdottir from the Laxdæla Saga, who according to medieval literature regularly visited this location for bathing.

Located 167 kilometers from Reykjavik, the spring offers free entry and includes a changing room built to resemble traditional Viking architecture.

The natural pool provides direct contact with geothermally heated groundwater while offering views across the surrounding Icelandic valley.
