Hellulaug is a small pool situated in the innermost reaches of Vatnsfjörður, just out of sight from the road and hidden under a bank by the seashore. Vatnavinir´s proposals consist of improving access down the bank with as little a disruption as possible to the landscape countenance. A trail is etched out to the west of the pool with large rocks that direct guests down a paved path.

Landscape to the east of the pool is allowed to heal and regain vegetation and the present path will be sealed off with trees, bushes and large rocks. A stone cairn will be built around the drill hole and pipes dug into the ground. Trail down to the pool is coarsely paved with large rocks and reaches the edge of the pool. A small and light steel rack is erected for the laying down of clothes and other equipment.

To the west of Hellulaug are the remnants of an old turf pool right on the bank with spectacular views over the fjord. This proposal includes the rebuilding of this pool and providing it with water from a drill hole
