During our visit, we arrived at Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths around 2:00 pm. Just in time to catch the tour of their traditional Icelandic geothermal bakery, which goes on every day at 11.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. We experienced it first hand and I was blown away! Our tour guide explained to us the history of the bakery and what the process entailed. Honestly, I don’t remember all of details because I was so hungry and I wanted to just try whatever was cooking. Our tour guide proceeded to dig out a pot of fresh rye bread from the hot black sand that was buried underground and baked for 24 hours. Check it out!
As a guest, you are offered to taste the bread, served hot from the ground with some butter. FYI: It was sooo delicious! Even though the tour is not free (it costs 1500 ISK which is about $14.00) per person, it’s definitely worth it.

My experience at Laugarvatn Fontana pools was delightful. I really enjoyed my moments of solitude and being surrounded by such breathtaking views was definitely a treat on its own.
Many thanks to Laugarvatn Fontana pools for the lovely accommodations!
