Þingvellir National Park at a Glance

The oldest national park in Iceland (pronounced Thingvellir). Even if you’re just here for a few days, this one’s a must-see. The park is a protected area and has historical significance. It is the location of the original Althing parliament, which was founded in 930 A.D.

It has an astounding natural landscape with a 52-square mile (84 sq. km) lake and the great mid-Atlantic Almannagja rift, which runs through the middle of the park. The park is great for hiking as there are many trails through the lava fields. The park is located about 40 minutes west of Reykjavík.
