Hiking
You will also find on the sign that cars drove through the Almannagjá until November 1, 1967. Only then was the ravine closed to wagons. Previously, the road was one of the main public roads through Þingvellir Park.

Hiking
Until 2011 the gravel path in the Almannagjá fault extended all the way to the top. On March 31st 2011 a hole appeared in the middle of the gravel path in Almannagjá. After close investigation a larger and deeper fault beneath the trail was discovered. The fault was about 10 m deep and extended 15 m under the trail toward southwest, effectively a deeper extension of the ravine. The ravine beneath the road is narrower from top to bottom and was full of large rocks and boulders.
