"This legendary bathing spot, Grettislaug at Reykir in Skagafjörður in North Iceland, is the bathing place of Grettir the Strong from Saga lore. Located by the seaside with amazing views, the geothermal pool has been constructed with natural stones.
At Reykir in Skagafjörður fjord are two geothermal pools, where guests can bathe. The older one, Grettislaug, is named after Grettir the Strong, the main character from Grettir’s Saga. As the story goes, Grettir was living as an outlaw on Drangey Island,, which is visible from the pool. One night, Grettir swam from Drangey to the Skagafjörður beach. He was feeling cold, naturally, after the swim and spent the night in the pool, getting warm again."

"Remote, warm, pool. A great pit stop while traveling. 2000 ISK entry per person but worth it."
