    Hiking

    Þingvallahraun is a vast lava field located in the Þingvellir National Park in Iceland. It was formed from a shield volcanic eruption that occurred about 10,000 years ago. This lava field is special because it collected and filtered glacial water, resulting in clear spring water. Today, Þingvallahraun is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers, with several hiking trails passing through the impressive lava field.
