Snorralaug is a historical geothermal pool nestled in Reykholt, Iceland. Regarded as the oldest known hot springs in the country, it boasts a rich history that dates back to the medieval era. The pool is named after a popular Icelandic poet, historian, and chieftain named Snorri Sturluson, who belonged to the 13th century. Earlier, Snorri used the hot spring for different rituals and bathing as it offered endless healing possibilities. When you travel to Snorralaug, there is a circular stone pool surrounded by a well-preserved stone wall, adding more to its glory.
