It is quite lovely to chill out in the pool(38°/100,4 F) while looking out over the fjord.The pool cannot be seen from the road, but there is a parking lot next to the path that leads to Hellulaug. The pool is 60 cm deep.

The hot natural pools in Drangsnes are right along the shoreline in the middle of the village easily spotted from the road.The pots are used throughout the year by locals and visitors.

The nearest villages of significance, and , are both over 100 kilometres away, requiring more than two hours of driving.
