Laugarvatn Village Hot Spring Spa
Laugarvatn Village Hot Spring Spa
Laugarvatn means 'hot spring lake' and you will find hot springs emerging on the shore of the lake.
A small hut was built over one of the springs, making a rustic sauna that locals and visitors used to enjoy. This facility has been replaced by the upmarket Fontana Spa.
The village that has built up around the lake is popular with Icelanders who build summerhouses in the wooded surrounds.
There are several schools here, which serve as hotels in the summer. Lindin Restaurant and Bistro in the village uses local ingredients in its imaginative menu and gets good reviews.
