Geothermal Bakery
See how we bake rye bread in a geyser and taste it while it’s still warm.
Join us as we dig out a pot of rye bread from the warm black sand. It has been baking for 24 hours, and we eat it while it's still warm. It melts in your mouth; it’s chewy, sweet, and served with butter, as it has been for generations.

About the tour

We make rye bread using an old recipe and bury it in the ground. After simmering for 24 hours in the heat of a geyser, surrounded by steam and black sand, we dig it up and taste it. The warm bread melts in your mouth—sweet, malty goodness served with butter. You have to try it.

The rye bread tour starts at our reception every day at 11:45 and 14:40.

Try it at home

Our guests are often curious about how to make it at home, so we wanted to share the baking method and process for home baking. If you have a hot spring somewhere nearby, we encourage you to try our method, but be very careful about the boiling water.
