The pool is situated in between Seljalandsfoss and Sko\u00f3gafoss waterfalls, which is a sight that speaks for itself. There\u2019s even a changing room available, all you need is to bring your swimsuit. Including, the whole area is completely free to use, so <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/3sifHVE\" target=\"_blank\">swim<\/a> to your heart\u2019s desire but, also remember to be respectful to the area. To get there you will have to drive on an off beaten path and then walk for around 15-20 mins to arrive at this spectacular view that surrounds the pool.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/38EWoxZ\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"Seljavallalaug pool in Iceland with a green mountain view.\" class=\"wp-image-2966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-1536x1040.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-2048x1387.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ross-hughes-mfktTAgl3R0-unsplash-500x339.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/a><figcaption>\n  Swim in Iceland\u2019s oldest pool<br \/>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-5-hike-to-glymur-waterfall\">5. Hike to Glymur waterfall<\/h3>\n<p>The drive to Hvalfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur fjord has been neglected ever since the tunnel through Hvalfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur was opened. Due to this, people no longer felt the need to drive through Hvalfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur fjord, which means people also hardly get to see the stunning fjord. Which by the way, at the bottom of it you will find a trail that brings you to <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/2LjK917\" target=\"_blank\">Iceland<\/a>\u2018s tallest waterfall called Glymur. Can you guess how tall it is? It\u2019s 198 meters tall, for anyone wondering. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s pretty easy to get there. The hike takes about 2-3 hours, but you won\u2019t even notice as the time goes by. Why? Because you will be so distracted by the gorgeous scenery that lays in front of you throughout your whole journey there. You can also book a tour guide that leads you there.

Admire the nordic black church<\/h3>\n<p>This has to be one of the darkest churches but also one of the most beautiful in Iceland. The church is called Heimaey Stave Church and it is completely black! Fun fact; It is also the only black church in <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/2LjK917\" target=\"_blank\">Iceland<\/a>. The church was built in the early 2000s and has a nordic looking style, which you will quickly notice. Something about the color black just feels very Icelandic, or is it just me? I mean, the black beaches, black churches, they must not get very much sunlight either so, I don\u2019t really blame them. This is a true insider tip for Iceland as not many people know about it since it is located on a small island called Heimaey Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/38EWoxZ\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Heimaey island in Iceland with a view of a White House isolated alone on a green island with blue water surrounding it.\" class=\"wp-image-2968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/khamkeo-vilaysing-TahzKepGKL4-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/a><figcaption>\n  Admire the nordic black church<br \/>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-3-become-a-viking-on-the-viking-village-film-set\">3.

By driving east past Hofn, you will come across an abandoned film set that was built to look like a Viking village. The funny thing about this is that it was built for a film that never happened. The great thing about this, however, is where the film set is situated. The abandoned Viking village is located by such beautiful mountains in the background making it the perfect location for a photoshoot. To enter the film set though is not free and costs a small fee that will allow you to explore around this unique, almost real-like Viking village.

It is a pretty iconic landmark in <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/2LjK917\" target=\"_blank\">Iceland<\/a> after all. However, hear me out. The concert hall itself is an architectural genius because it is stunning. The building is covered in colored glass, add the sunset into it and it is an absolute sight to see. The idea of building a concert hall in Reykjav\u00edk actually began in the 1880s but they only managed to start building the concert hall in 2007. A pretty long idea to be held in if you ask me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/jmt.link\/38EWoxZ\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik, Iceland by the blue water with boats driving past in the day.\" class=\"wp-image-2970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/michael-held-YkxAoqR68vg-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/a><figcaption>\n  Discover the architectural genius, Harpa concert hall<br \/>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-1-explore-the-ice-kingdom\">1.

I am not letting you leave Iceland without visiting here first, however, it is only accessible during the winter. So, make sure you come here in the right season, with the right people. When I say with the right people, it is because the ice caves can be dangerous. Visit the ice caves with a professional guide who knows their way around and can guide you through in case anything were to happen.
