Secret Lagoon
Gamla Laugin, Iceland’s oldest swimming pool, built in 1891 beside the hot springs at Flúðir, with Litli Geysir erupting a few steps away every few minutes. The springs supply all of the water and replace it every 24 hours with no chemicals, which is why showering without a swimsuit first is mandatory.
