Krauma was built in 2017 beside Deildartunguhver, the highest-flow hot spring in Europe, which delivers around 180 litres of 100 °C water per second. That boiling water is cooled only with cold water from a nearby glacial stream — nothing is added.

Perché visitarlo
The proposition is purity and place: five pools and two steam rooms looking directly at the steaming spring, with no chemicals needed because the water is constantly replaced.

Storia
Deildartunguhver has supplied hot water to the Borgarfjörður district for decades; the bathhouse opened in 2017 to make the spring publicly bathable for the first time.
Informazioni pratiche
Pools run at roughly 38–41 °C; there is a cold tub, two steam baths and a restaurant. Water is not recycled, so bathing is at natural mineral concentration.
Come arrivare
Krauma is about 90 minutes' drive north of Reykjavík on Route 1 then Route 50, close to Reykholt and the Hraunfossar waterfalls.
