ストーリー

Deep in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, where highland routes run between the glaciers Torfajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, the Hólmsá river begins as little more than a trickle from the earth. Right at that source sits Strútslaug — sometimes called Holmsárbotnalaug, 'the pool at the bottom of the Hólmsá' — a wide, natural basin split by a low stone wall into warmer and cooler sections, its floor soft with mud, its water fed directly by the geothermal ground beneath it. Getting there is most of the experience. There is no paved road, no shortcut: only unbridged river crossings, F-roads open for a few short summer months, and — for most visitors — a further walk of around an hour from the Strútur hut across open highland terrain. For those who make the trip, Strútslaug is one of the more genuine wilderness soaks left in Iceland: remote, unmanaged, and often entirely empty but for the sound of the wind and the river.
