Reykholtsdalur: Reykholt history and a separate visit to Krauma

Snorrastofa changes its schedule after August

The visitor reception lists 10:00–17:00 daily from May 1 through August 31, then 10:00–17:00 on weekdays from September 1 through April 30, with other times by arrangement. These hours were checked September 10, 2026. Contact Snorrastofa before building a weekend visit around the exhibition outside summer.

Snorralaug is a historic site

Visit West Iceland describes Snorralaug through its association with Snorri and medieval saga history. Treat the stone pool as part of the heritage visit and follow the site’s rules; choose Krauma for a booked bathing session. The two places serve different purposes.

Budget for Krauma separately

Krauma’s published price on September 10 was 7,900 ISK for adults aged 17 and over, with towel rental another 1,400 ISK. The spa is by Deildartunguhver on Road 50. Bring your own towel if you want to avoid that rental, and check your selected date’s price and terms before booking.

Continue inland only if the day allows

Húsafell’s directions follow Road 50 onto 518 through Reykholt and onward to Húsafell. Add Hraunfossar as an additional stop in that wider inland itinerary. Allow separate time for the exhibition, driving and bathing rather than treating the valley as one walkable attraction.
