Barðslaug in Fljótin

Water is an essential ingredient of life and since the beginning of time man has understood its importance for our health and wellbeing. Throughout millennia, water therapies have been developed in civilizations around the world and have been an important part of lifestyles and cultures.

In Iceland, the hot water flowing the earth has been enjoyed for relaxation and wellness from the days of settlement, as we can read about in our old manuscripts. The natural pools in Skagafjörður played a role in the civil wars of the 13th century, but we do not know how the natural hot spring in Barðsland was utilized before the first pool was constructed in 1895.
