Guðrúnarlaug Hot-tub is a must-see destination for any traveler in West Iceland. This hot pool, which has been recreated to resemble its original Viking form, offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore the culture and history of this beautiful region. Located nearby an old replica Viking hut, visitors can take a dip in the warm waters of the hot tub and experience true Icelandic relaxation. The area itself tells the romantic tale of Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir – the heroine of the Laxdæla Saga – as well as the love triangle between her, Bolli Þorleiksson and Kjartan Ólafsson. Additionally, nearby is the elf-church Tungustapi in Sælingsdalur, as well as Eiríksstaðir Viking longhouse, two other relevant historical sites for travelers to visit.
