🚶‍♂️ Dead Man Walking in Þingvellir Imagine: In the past, you didn't come here to hike, but because the Alþingi had decided that your final adventure awaited you – beheading, drowning, or hanging. A natural idyll with a twist. While today tourists stroll along the wooden walkways with selfie sticks, back then, condemned prisoners walked their final journey to Drekkingarhylur. "Wellness in a glacial stream" just sounded a little less relaxing back then. Who needs Game of Thrones when reality here in the 17th century was much more brutal?

Easily accessible and well-maintained wooden path that immediately immerses you in the impressive area around Pingvellir. Here, you can easily imagine the tectonic plates drifting apart.

The lake lies in the so-called Þingvellir Rift and is surrounded by four active volcanic systems: Prestahnúkur and Hrafnabjörg in the northeast, and Hengill and Hrómundartindur in the southwest. The lake is estimated to be about 12,000 years old, making it the first glacial lake to have formed at the end of the last ice age. It was initially a glacial lake. At the end of the last ice age, the glacier blocked the water's outflow. Eventually, the glaciers retreated, the land beneath the Hengill volcano rose, and the lake deepened.

The river is rather boring here at the bridge - it's better to follow the boardwalk.
