"To experience one of the most creative ways Icelanders harness Volcanic energy, learn how to bake rye bread in an underground hot spring at Laugarvatn Fontana, a lakefront spa with natural steam baths, outdoor mineral pools, and a sauna about a 1.5 hour drive from Reykjavik."

The 28 Best Things to Do in Iceland, From Puffin Spotting to Bread Baking

"Fontana is a geothermal spa with a beautiful pool overlooking þingvallavatn, a rift valley lake in þingvellir National Park. Here, you can enjoy the hot springs, then pay an extra fee to participate in the daily baking, which involves tapping geothermal energy from underground to make bread."

10 Types of European Bread and Their Stories - AFAR

"A geothermal bakery where visitors can take a tasting and tour to sample piping-hot hverabrauð (rúgbrauð), a traditional rye loaf steamed in geyser steam for about 24 hours. The resulting bread is virtually crustless, very moist with a dense, dark crumb, and has the nickname brumari ("thunderbread") because it is rumored to cause gassiness. Making the bread the old-fashioned way—buried or steamed by hot springs—is now uncommon, which makes the on-site geothermal baking experience notable." - Chris Ciolli

2 of the 3 steam rooms were outside temp (like a dank Pirttburgh cellar), these were "recommended today". The third was blazing hot but steamy. We did you see anyone last more than 90 seconds. The Finnish sauna wouldn't get over 60C and the window is boarded over with plywood. The hot tubs were fine and enjoyable.

The flavor of the bread after digging in out of the ground is unforgettable. Our tour was really kind and patient with our children and was a true credit to the bakery and Iceland in general. The spa itself was amazing and overlooks the water. Nothing could be more serene.

My girlfriend and I came here to enjoy the spa, since we found the Blue Lagoon way too expensive. It was a great place on its own, but given that it costs only a third of the Blue Lagoon, it felt like excellent value. Nice and clean facilities, with several pools at different temperatures. Loved that you could take a dip in the lake, and there were also multiple steam rooms using natural geothermal steam – very cool! There was also a minibar where you could order refreshments.

We just did the 4 pm bread making tour today and had a blast (despite it being rainy). The tour guide, Vlad, was informative and kind. I even got to help dig the bread out of the banks on the lake. The bread is sweet and delicious with Icelandic butter and smoked trout. A real treat!

Would highly recommend the bread baking tour! It is interesting to learn about the hot springs in the area and how they harness them to cook bread. The tour is very thorough and then concludes with the ability to taste the bread alongside Icelandic butter and cured trout -- all of which were delicious!

My friends and I did the bread experience where we tried rye bread fresh from underground geothermal ovens. The bread by itself… good! The bread with butter… amazing!! The bread with butter AND smoked trout… MIND BLOWING!!! Doing the bread tour is a must when visiting Iceland!! You will not regret it.

We visited this place while passing by with a tour. It was very cool and the storytelling about the place was very interesting also. I would have enjoyed a freshly baked bread but I guess you would need to wait for quite some time before it would be done. But still the whole idea seemed very cool. Also be careful with the water it is boiling hot in some places so just look before touching the water if there are bubbles.

An awesome experience! Definitely get tickets to the bread tour if you are doing the golden circle area. Love the passion the team had for their work and preserving the old ways for the future. Nice facility, everything clean and well presented. The bread was delicious and they also have a cafe there with soup bar.
