Gudrun Osvifursdottir, heroine of Laxdaela Saga, was born (973AD) and brought up at Laugar. It is said that she used the hot water pool there a lot and also met there her followers Kjartan and Bolli. There is a geothermal area at Laugar and a naturally-heated swimming pool was built there in 1932. The hot water is also used for heating up the buildings at the place. There is a summer hotel and a folk museum which opened in 1977. At about 3 km from Laugar you may find the rocky hill Tungustapi, home of elves.Laugar í Sælingsdal - YouTube | |
