A small, reconstructed pool in the Dales of west Iceland, named for a heroine of the Laxdæla saga. Simple, historic and quietly lovely.

What to expect

A modest stone pool and a turf changing hut beside the road, a brief, characterful soak rather than a full spa.

Getting there

In Saðurbrekka in the Dales, west Iceland, an easy roadside stop on the way to the Westfjords.

Best time to visit

Year round; a charming break on a longer western drive.
