Bárðarlaug
Sightseeing
Directions

Discover Bárðarlaug, a serene and beautiful crater lake tucked away on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. According to legend, this was the bathing spot of the half-man, half-troll Bárður Snæfellsás, the area's ancient protector. It's a peaceful place for a short, reflective stop with stunning views, especially when the Snæfellsjökull glacier is visible. A brief, ten-minute walk from the nearby car park leads you down a gentle slope right to the water's edge.
