Hrunalaug: Tiny Historic Hot Pot Near Flúðir
Hrunalaug is a privately operated hot spring near Flúðir with three pools. Plan around admission and opening hours; it is no longer adequately described as an unattended donation-box stop.
Price changes at 2 pm
The owner’s tariff, checked September 10, 2026, lists adults at 3,000 ISK before 2 pm and 3,500 ISK afterward. Ages 11–15 cost 2,000 or 2,500 ISK, while children 10 and under are free. Ordinary visits are limited to 90 minutes.
Use the current facilities
A new changing facility opened in 2026, with lockers, toilets and showers. The owner states that wheelchair access is not available. Confirm any specific access needs before the trip.
Arrive during opening hours
September and October hours are listed as 9 am–9 pm. Access outside opening hours is prohibited, so arriving before dawn is not a way to secure an ordinary visit. Check the website for the schedule and any water-supply notices on your date.
The three pools reflect different uses over time: household washing, sheep bathing and a more recent visitor pool. Compare nearby Secret Lagoon if you want another option around Flúðir.
