Seljavallalaug Swimming Pool

Swimming pool Rangárþing eystra, Suðurland, Iceland

What to expect

Seljavallalaug is an outdoor swimming pool in South Iceland. The pool was built in 1923 and is one of the oldest swimming pools in Iceland. It is 10 meters wide and 25 meters long, making it a unique and historic spot to visit. The pool is surrounded by beautiful landscapes and is a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. However, please note that the pool is not often cleaned and the flow of water in and out of the pool is minimal, which may be a concern for those sensitive to bacteria. Additionally, there are no lifeguards on duty, so swimmers enter at their own risk

Activities: We went to Seljavallalaug Swimming Pool. It's a 1923-opened pool, with three small changing rooms. The water was green and the bottom very slippery. "We enjoyed the really pleasantly warm water."

Highlights: The kids loved the warm water! Even though it was a bit rustic, it was still a great experience. It was a unique and fun experience, a true adventure ✨
