Snorralaug

Snorralaug is a medieval hot pool at Reykholt, said to be where 13th-century chieftain and historian Snorri Sturluson bathed nearly 800 years ago. It's a protected heritage site today, not a working bathing pool — showers, toilets and a café sit nearby (Visit West Iceland).

There's nothing quite like soaking in geothermal water surrounded by Icelandic landscape. Time slows down.

This is a protected historic monument, not a public bathing pool today — come to see it, not to soak. Showers, toilets and a café/restaurant are on site at Reykholt (west.is).
