Rute

1. At Thingvellir National Park, Iceland gave birth to its first parliament and was the first democratic national parliament in the world. It’s called Althing (Alþing). Therefore it’s Iceland’s most significant and historical and geological places. The parliament was founded in the year 930 AD and is the oldest parliament in the world that’s still fully operating. Althing was held outdoors at Thingvellir until the year 1844 when the Icelandic Parliament was moved to Iceland’s capital Reykjavik and has been operated there ever since. At Thingvellir, you can clearly see where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet and also how spectacularly these plates have been drifting apart. At the slow and non-violent speed the plates drift apart at the rate of 2 cm (0.79 in) per year. This process is steadily forming the island’s markable landscape over millions of years. After your visit to this markable place, you’ll leave with a sense of history as you explore more of the Icelandic nature since the area is a high concentration of volcanic activity and many newly lava fields can be found in many places as well as several lava tubes.

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.
