This popular tour shows you some of the best-known natural phenomena in Iceland. Visit Nesjavellir power station in a high temperature geothermal area situated in a picturesque landscape near Lake Þingvallavatn. Then we enter Þingvellir, a special place in the hearts of Icelanders where many historically important events have taken place. The Icelandic parliament Alþingi was founded at Þingvellir in 930., the oldest parliament in the world. Icelanders adopted Christianity at Þingvellir in the year 1000 and it now a National Park. Geologically it is unique and here the American and the Eurasian tectonics plates meet and slowly drift apart. We continue to the majestic waterfall Gullfoss and from there to the geothermal area of Geysir and Strokkur.
We proceed to the church at Skálholt, the ancient seat of the Icelandic bishops where the first translation of the Old Testament was printed. On our way back we will travel through agricultural areas to Hveragerði, a small horticultural town, where you will see how geothermal energy has been harnessed to grow flowers, fruit and vegetables in greenhouses. Due to weather and road conditions we cannot guarantee a visit to Nesjavellir during the winter.
