Hike through Þingvellir National Park

Gorgeous but crowded

A great way to spend the day in Iceland. Crowded until you get away from the main paths and then it gets interesting. Hike along the lave fields for a lot of excitement.

Something amazing everywhere you look

I spent my summer in Iceland this past year and this place was by far the highlight of my trip! There is something cool to see everywhere you look and the fact you are standing between two continents blew my mind. If you are in Iceland, this is a must see!

Do not go here in the summer. There was way to much people, but besides the people it was a really nice spot.

1st Stop On The Golden Circle

Our first full day here in Iceland, we set out on a day trip from Reykjavik. Þingvellir National Park is a great first stop. You could spend all day hiking and exploring different trails within the park, although we chose to press on down the road. Grab a free map at the visitors center. There is a small fee to pay for parking, and a fee for the restrooms. There are free restrooms and a little cafe 3 km further down the road. The views of the lake and surrounding area are amazing, hiking through the tectonic plates was cool, and there is so much history. We were very lucky to catch it on a morning with low wind and blue skies!
