Bakgrunnur
Saga og bakgrunnur

The volume is so enormous that it provides hot water and district heating to the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes through insulated pipes — one of the longest geothermal district heating systems in the world. Nearby Krauma geothermal spa uses the spring's water cooled to bathing temperature.
Deildartunguhver is one of the most interesting natural attractions in west-iceland of Iceland.
Þjóðsögur
Saga og þjóðsögur
Deildartunguhver is Europe's highest-flow hot spring — producing 180 litres of 97°C water per second from the earth. The spring is located in Borgarfjörður in West Iceland and has been used as a district heating source for over a century; today, hot water is piped 74 kilometres to Akranes and 64 kilometres to Borgarnes — one of the world's longest hot water pipelines. The spring itself is dramatic: enormous volumes of near-boiling water burst from the ground in constant clouds of steam. Covered viewing platforms allow close inspection. The adjacent Krauma spa uses the same water, cooled to bathing temperature. Deildartunguhver is a stop on virtually every West Iceland driving route.
