Itinerary
1
Thingvellir National Park
Thingvellir was accepted on the World Heritage list for its cultural values in 2004.The area is part of a fissure zone running through Iceland, being situated on the tectonic plate boundaries of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Learn about our history from Viking era up to now.
Magnificent and beautiful area.
Thingvellir National Park was designated by a special law on the protection of the area.
No single place epitomizes the history of Iceland and the Icelandic nation better than Þingvellir by the river Öxará.
At Þingvellir - literally "Assembly Plains" - the Alþing general assembly was established around 930 until 1798. Major events in the history of Iceland have taken place at Þingvellir.
Duration: 60 minutes
2
Geysir
The Great Geysir and the geysers area is a bubbling area with geothermal area activity from steam of vents to boiling mud pits and of course geysers.
A geyser is a vent in Earth's surface that periodically ejects a column of hot water and steam.
Duration: 30 minutes
3
Strokkur
The Great Geyser erupts occasionally these days, last in 2016.
His friend Strokkur is faithful erupts regularly to our delight by shooting hot water every few minutes.
Duration: 30 minutes
4
Gullfoss Waterfall
The waterfall is magnificent when it flows down into a wide curved three-step “staircase” and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. Gullfoss is in the river Hvítá (White river), which has its origin in the glacier lake Hvítávatn (Whiteriverlake) at Langjökull glacier about 40 km north of Gullfoss.
Glacial water is brownish, since it carries lots of sediments that the glacial ice has carved off the earth. Gullfoss is called the "Golden Falls", since on a sunny day the water plunging down the three step staircase and then tumbling in two steps down into the 32 m deep crevice truly looks golden.
Duration: 60 minutes
5
Kerid Crater
The crater Kerið was formed about 6,500 years ago and lies at the northern end of a row of craters known as Tjarnarhólar. It is oval, about 270 m long, 170 m wide and 55 m deep: the depth of the water at the bottom varies between 7 and 14 m.
Kerið lies in the Iceland ́s Western Volcanic Zone, which runs through the Reykjanes peninsula and the glacier Langjökull.
The water in Kerið does not drain out, but rises and falls according to changes in the water table. Thus, the crater is like a window on the groundwater.
Duration: 30 minutes
