シンクバトラ湖のおすすめランニングルート

It's worth a look, but spending time taking a walk through nature away from the crowds is actually more interesting.

While you're sweating through the lava fields, taking selfies between crevices and waterfalls, the Prime Minister himself is just a few steps away on the grass roof of his summer residence, thinking, "Ah, how wonderful it is to be a minister." Unassuming from the outside, but inside, it's sure to have a sea view, a sauna, and maybe even Wi-Fi that's faster than your mobile network in the park. Perfect for reminding yourself that some people really do always have the better places in life.

A beautifully designed circular trail with plenty to see. Definitely a visit!

A great highlight

Just like the residence in Reykjavík, it's surprisingly simple and therefore perfectly suited to Iceland. Perhaps in other countries, a little more modesty would also exude more respect.

The scenery is still beautiful, but it becomes a little quieter here. However, the route is a bit difficult to integrate into a loop if you want to avoid the roads.

In terms of landscape, this is actually the most beautiful part of the national park (perhaps apart from the wide view over the valley), as the combination of river with rapids and rocks with green meadows in between just works.

The National Museum has an interesting exhibition about the proclamation of the republic here in 1944—in pouring rain, but still with a significant portion of the population at that time. Anyone with time should definitely check it out to understand why this valley is still so deeply rooted in the country's cultural history.
