Laugar

Developed around Laugum’s school community, Laugar grew into a small service centre in Reykjadalur. The settlement lies in inland Northeast Iceland, where the Reykjadalsá runs through an agricultural valley beneath open uplands. Its name, meaning “hot springs,” reflects the geothermal character long associated with the area; the local swimming pool is part of everyday Icelandic social life rather than a resort attraction. Framhaldsskólinn á Laugum, a secondary school founded in 1925, gives this small place an educational role beyond its size. Roads from the valley lead towards Lake Mývatn and the coast at Húsavík.
