Biskupslaug (Bishop Warm Water Springs) is a small, filled-in warm pool in Hjaltadalur, Iceland. It is situated on the property of Reykir in the heart of Hjaltadalur valley. It is round with a flagstone-paved bottom and there were, since ancient times, sedimentary beds out of the loaded wall. It is said that the bishops of Hólar had bathed there since the Middle Ages.[1]
The so-called Vinnufólkslaug (Hjúalaug), or the servants’ bath, was a short way from there. It was larger but much colder and uncomfortable. Biskuplaug is a protected site.[2]
