Krossneslaug is a pool located in the eastern Westfjords. The pool is one of Iceland’s most interesting and unique destinations. It is a very peaceful and relaxing area with a beautiful landscape. The pool is located over the sea so the amazing views should make the experience unforgettable. The remoteness and serenity of this place are truly what made us put it on our Happy Challenge list. Considering how small the place is, the facilities are really good.
Getting to Krossneslaug can be a challenge but once you get there, you will definitely find it worth the effort. Enjoy the views of the ocean and cross your fingers that you’ll see some whales while soaking in the pool.
