Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir is a national park with a wealth of natural attractions and is the site of Iceland's first parliament, established in 930. The name Thingvellir means "the plains of the parliament" and the site was originally chosen because of its topography, acoustics and its location near most of the country's population.

Hiking trails lead through the park to points of historical interest as well as canyons, caves, streams and waterfalls.
