After a long, tiring day on the bike. Relax in the hot springs in the evening. A dream, not just for tired muscles.

Immerse yourself in this natural pool, once called the "People's Pool" by the indigenous people of Iceland. While you relax in the soothing water at around 45°C, you are surrounded by an impressive backdrop of colorful mountains, lava fields and the Brennisteinsalda volcano, whose reddish shimmer gives it the nickname "sulphur wave". Be fascinated by the natural temperature differences, which vary depending on your proximity to the ice-cold stream. The further you move away from its inlet, the warmer the water becomes. And deep down you feel the gentle bubbling, as if the earth were quietly whispering stories to you from times long past. The locals here are endowed with a natural sense of community and openness. Changing takes place on a small platform, away from cabins. Showering naked? No problem. In Iceland this is completely normal and part of the culture.
