Seydisfjördur, Iceland

Vök Baths

Relax in Outdoor Pools While Enjoying Unspoiled Natural Views Unwind in the hot waters of Lake Urridavatn during a rejuvenating visit to the Vök Baths in a private setting. Centuries ago, the residents who lived around the lake discovered that certain spots—known as vöks, or ice-free holes—refused to ice over during the Arctic winters due to underground geothermal activity. Embark on a scenic drive by motor coach along the mountain pass of Fjardarheidi to the spa, whose sublime architecture was designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. Admire unspoiled views of the rugged Icelandic countryside as you relax in one of the two lakeshore pools while sipping herbal tea brewed from pure spring water. You will also have an opportunity to try the steam bath and cold tunnel equipped with an inside mist shower. Your tension eased and your spirit reenergized, board your coach and return to Seydisfjördur and your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
