GET TO KNOW THE PLACE
Into the quiet valley.
Seljavallalaug is an early twentieth-century outdoor swimming pool set in a narrow South Coast valley. The steep mountains around it give the place a distinctive, peaceful atmosphere.
A drive from Eyvindarholt is followed by a walk into the valley. This is a simple outdoor setting with basic conditions, rather than the services of a modern bathing complex. The valley itself is part of the visit.
