Hellisgerði Lava Park 2 km away (air distance)

Hafnarfjörður is famous in Icelandic folklore as a place where elves and hidden people are said to live in the lava. Many locals take such stories seriously, and building projects have been adjusted in the past to avoid disturbing certain rocks. The park was laid out in the early 20th century and has long been loved by residents.

Sky Lagoon 4 km away (air distance)

Sky Lagoon is a modern geothermal spa on the Kársnes shoreline in Kópavogur, built into the coastal rocks. Its infinity-edge pool looks straight out over the North Atlantic, so soaking in the warm water feels like drifting toward the horizon. There are saunas, a cold plunge and a bar within the facility.
