“Walking Between Two Worlds”

#hellohalloween Hiking in Thingvellir National Park is a journey through both nature and history. Located just outside Reykjavik, this UNESCO World Heritage Site sits in a dramatic rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart. The trails here are easy to moderate, making them perfect for most hikers. As you walk, you’ll pass through rugged cliffs, sparkling streams, and fields of volcanic rock covered in soft moss. One of the highlights is the path leading to Öxarárfoss Waterfall, where clear water tumbles gracefully into a rocky pool. Along the way, signs share stories of ancient Icelanders who gathered here for the Althing, the world’s oldest parliament. The views are breathtaking—especially from the cliff edge, where you can see the valley stretching wide below. Hiking Thingvellir feels like walking through time, where every step connects you to the power of nature and the deep roots of Iceland’s history.
