Hörgshliðarlaug Hot Spring
Westfjords
Hörgshliðarlaug is listed as a geothermal bathing site near Mjóifjörður in the Westfjords. The precise location, public access and bathing conditions are unverified; obtain local confirmation before attempting a visit.
故事
At the head of Mjóifjörður, a slender arm of Ísafjarðardjúp in the Westfjords, a modest concrete pool sits just above the shoreline — fed by two hot springs and one cold, blending to a steady soaking temperature. Hörgshlíðarlaug has no ticket window and no staff: it belongs to a working farm, and travelers who want to use it are expected to ask first. Those who do have, by published accounts, generally been welcomed. It's a small pool — about six meters long and less than a meter deep — but the setting does the rest of the work: still fjord water in front of you, mountains on both sides, and on a quiet day the chance of a curious seal watching from the shore.
你知道吗?
Hörgshlíðarlaug is fed by three separate springs — two hot and one cold — which mix in the stone-and-concrete pool to keep the water around 40°C (104°F) year-round with no mechanical heating or cooling. (Sources: Guide to Iceland; Reykjavík Grapevine)
门票
Free (permission from the landowner required)
实用信息
最佳时间
Summer for easier road access to this part of the Westfjords; the pool itself is fed continuously by its own hot springs and usable year-round.
时长
A short stop of 30–60 minutes is typical; this is a small farm pool, not a full spa facility.
前往方式
Located beside Route 633 near Mjóifjörður in the Westfjords, east of Ísafjörður. Look for the farm along this road and ask the resident for permission before bathing — it is private property, though visitors are, by published accounts, generally welcomed if they ask first.
