For around $12, an employee will bring you out to the water’s edge with a shovel to dig up the bread tin that was placed there a day before. After pulling out the day’s bounty, you’ll bury a new tin of bread for someone else to unearth the next day. The bread is deliciously similar to the sweetness of the pound cake and the appearance of rye bread. Smother a bit of smjör, or butter, and take some for the road.

“The stop at the Laugarvatn Fontana was a very good time, I loved the steam bath where I stayed most of the time. In between the steam bath session to sit in the pools in the sun, I think there are no words to describe the atmosphere and revitalisation, you just have to experience it.”
