Grettirs Pool
Embedded Files
Since there weren't any boats to see the puffin in this small fishing village, we visited Ketubjorg's coastal cliffs in the morning. Then, we headed to Grettirs Pool for a soak in the natural hot springs. This natural hot spring boasts a unique and relaxing location, with mountains behind and the ocean in front. It's one of the most relaxing hot springs in Iceland, surpassing the natural hot springs at the Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, and Lake Myvatn.
Grettislaug, a hot spring located 15 kilometers north of the town, is about a 20-minute drive along a gravel road. It's mentioned in Iceland's famous Grettis Saga. Surrounded by rocks and offering views of rolling, mossy hills, it's a legendary bathing spot. There are clean bathrooms and changing areas. The elderly Icelanders who run the guesthouse are very kind and friendly. For 3,000 Icelandic krona per person (we estimate about $25 USD), we spent the afternoon there. We were alone in the hot springs, which was a truly private experience. It was well worth it.
This small house is the boss's office. The old man runs the hot spring business here by himself. He is very content and lives a leisurely life.
She's in pretty good shape!
There was no other guests when we came, and the entire pool felt like a private property. The weather also kept getting better, so thank God for his grace.
The thick clouds behind covered the halfway up the mountain, and with a few small houses scattered in the wilderness, and the beauty standing in the natural hot spring pool, it formed a beautiful picture.
Using a tripod to take a selfie, I had already thought about how to capture this natural beauty before I even arrived.
The boss said that the natural hot springs here are drinkable, so Wei Li wanted to try it.
It’s a paradise on earth. What more could you ask for in Iceland than to soak in such a natural hot spring? Let’s just raise our hands and praise the Lord.
End of today's bathing trip
