About Krauma Geothermal Baths
Tucked away in West Iceland, Krauma is an intimate retreat powered by Europe’s most powerful hot spring. Here, you can unwind in mineral-rich pools, enjoy a sauna, and take cold invigorating plunges—far from the tourist crowds.
Krauma baths are fed directly by Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, which releases 180 liters of boiling water per second—more than any other hot spring in Europe.
While many geothermal spas are far from their water source, at Krauma, you can actually see the steam rising from Deildartunguhver while soaking in the pools.
The word 'Krauma' in Icelandic translates to 'simmer' or 'boil,' perfectly capturing the essence of its constantly steaming, bubbling geothermal waters.
Standing near Deildartunguhver, visitors often hear a low, rumbling sound coming from beneath the ground. This is caused by the intense geothermal pressure and constant movement of steam and boiling water underground.
