Rute

1. Start your adventure at Thingvellir National Park, Iceland’s only UNESCO World Heritage site. Thingvellir is more than a beautiful landscape; it’s where Iceland’s remarkable history began. Back in 930 AD, Icelanders founded the world’s first parliament here, Alþingi, creating a legacy of democracy still alive today. Situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Thingvellir is a geological marvel where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart, creating stunning rift valleys. Capture breathtaking photos of rugged cliffs, clear blue waters, and sweeping volcanic plains that stand as witnesses to Iceland’s rich heritage. It’s about an hour’s drive from Reykjavik, with another hour to explore the park’s dramatic cliffs and historic landmarks.

2. Next, after a 40-minute drive from Thingvellir, dive into the magical Geysir geothermal area and feel the Earth’s power. Here, Strokkur, a hot spring known for its powerful bursts, propels boiling water over 25 metres high, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle every 8-10 minutes. Spend around an hour wandering the area, feel the ground tremble as superheated water rushes skyward, bringing the heart of Iceland’s volcanic activity right to your feet. Hungry? Take a break at the Geysir Center and enjoy a bowl of traditional Icelandic meat soup – the perfect warm-up before your next stop!

3. No Golden Circle tour would be complete without a visit to Gullfoss. A short 15-minute drive brings you to the “Golden Falls,” one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Witnessing it is truly unforgettable. Fed by the Hvítá River, which originates from the Langjökull Glacier, Gullfoss’s two-tiered drop sends a mist of golden-hued spray up into the air, creating rainbows on sunny days. Give yourself around 45 minutes here to walk along the paths and take in the spectacular views. Take a moment to breathe in the raw beauty, then head over to the Gullfoss Café for some Icelandic refreshments or browse the local souvenir shop for handmade Icelandic keepsakes.

4. Your final stop is the mesmerising Kerid Crater, about an hour and 45 minutes from Gullfoss. This volcanic lake gives you the feeling of peering into the Earth’s hidden secrets. This unique 3,000-year-old crater, with its vivid aquamarine water surrounded by red volcanic rock and lush greenery, creates a stunning visual contrast and is often called “The Eye of the World.” Soak up the vibrant colours and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as you walk along the crater’s rim—and from here, it’s just a one-hour drive back to Reykjavik.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik er verdens nordligste hovedstad, en farverig, kompakt by af kunst og musik, der åbner sig mod Islands vulkanske landskaber.

Hallgrímskirkja, hvis tårn er inspireret af basaltsøjler, rejser sig over gader med farverigt malede huse. Nede ved havnen glimter koncerthuset Harpa med sin glasfacade over vandet, og skulpturen Solfaren vender mod havet og bjerget Esja. Laugavegur, hovedgaden for shopping, er kantet af designbutikker, caféer og barer.
