Created for locals to learn how to swim, this pool has become an oasis of tranquility as it is placed into the side of a green hill, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Built in 1923, Seljavallalaug is a 25-meter outdoor pool in southern Iceland, located not far from Seljavellir. It was constructed by Bjorn Andrésson Berjaneskoti— the largest pool in Iceland until 1936. The pool is always open and free of charge. It is cleaned once every summer. Thus, visitors who have safety or health concerns might want to avoid swimming in the pool.
