Day 01

Thingvellir National Park

The location of Althing, the old Parliament of Iceland. At Þingvellir the Eurasian and North American plate boundaries which run through Iceland are clearly visible – the plates are moving apart here and the land between them is subsiding.

Geysir Geothermal Area

From Þingvellir we head along the mountains to the world renowned geothermal hot spring area around Geysir. Although the original Geysir is not active at the moment, its neighbor, Strokkur, spouts every 5 or 10 minutes.

 

Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss means the Golden waterfall and you will not be disappointed there. Gullfoss is actually two separate waterfalls of 11 and 22 meter height. On a sunny day a rainbow will be likely to show up and you can make wishes that might even come true!

 

The Crater

 It’s a nicely shaped pseudo crater formed some 5,000 years ago, with a rather deep lake in the bottom. 

Little Extra Touch

We will add some local touch and different places to visit depending on time, weather and mood.
