Krossneslaug: A Secluded Hot Spring You Can Reach By Rental Car

While popular geothermal pools, such as the Blue Lagoon, are wonderful places to visit when traveling to Iceland, hidden pools are even better. Sometimes it is therapeutic to get away from the busy areas of the country and soak your worries away in a remote area. Krossneslaug is one of those hidden gems that can be accessed when renting a car in Iceland. It is also a more affordable option than most of the touristy hot springs in the country. If you are looking for a secluded hot spring that is nestled in the heat of Iceland’s nature, then get ready to take a road trip to this isolated area in the Westfjords.
