This is a little known gem in the Westfjords, named after Iceland's most notorious outlaws, Grettir the strong. It's surrounded by beautiful nature and a unique view of Breiðafjörður bay.

Swimming pools are an integral part of Icelandic culture and has been ever since people started gathering in natural hot springs in the past.
