Hiking

We then walk down a wide path to the Almannagjá (All People's Gorge), which is not only geologically interesting as one of the largest faults in this region, but also has great historical significance as the former meeting place of the Icelandic Parliament. The legal texts used to be read out on a wide path along the gorge, along the Lögberg crowned with a flagpole.

Hiking

Snorrabud is an important historical site, located in Þingvellir National Park. It is the founding location of Iceland as it was the site of the country's first parliament. The views from here are absolutely stunning. You can even go diving here if you're brave enough to brave the icy waters, where you can see the tectonic plates from a completely different perspective.
