Hrunalaug is located off Route 30, about 15 km from Flúðir. The pool is surrounded by bright green moss and sits in a quiet, rural area with views of farmland and distant mountains. The water temperature is around 38–40°C. There are no facilities — visitors must change in their car and bring all rubbish away.
