Iceland's oldest swimming pool sits on the Golden Circle, steam drifting off a simple natural pool ringed by little bubbling geysers. Refreshingly unfussy and full of character.

What to expect

A single, generously sized natural pool kept at a comfortable warmth, with a small geyser erupting nearby every few minutes. An easy, charming add on to a Golden Circle day.

Getting there

In Flúðir, about 1h45 from Reykjavík and an easy detour off the Golden Circle route.

Best time to visit

Year round; pairs perfectly with a day of Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss.
