About Krauma
Deildartunga belonged to one family for 200 years before the Icelandic state expropriated it, and the operator presents Krauma as the realised vision of its last owner, Sigurbjörg Björnsdóttir (1886 to 1984), who ran a large household on the farm. Long before the baths, a wooden duct about 600 m long carried steam from the spring to the old house for hot showers and cooking. Part of the spring's water heats homes in West Iceland, and the spring itself was left uncovered to protect Tunguskollakambur, a deer fern the operator says grows nowhere else. The pools are built of volcanic stone and wood.
