To do this, we&#8217;re going to tell you all about the <b>things to do in Thingvellir National Park<\/b>. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p>But, first you should know that the park is divided into <\/b>several zones<\/b>, all equally amazing. On the one hand, you can walk through a lava field covered with trees and then there is the area of Leirar, where are the most tourist spots (hotels and restaurants).

For this you have a <b>great viewpoint<\/b>, very close to the tourist information center. From there you can see the immense <b>valley<\/b> and the <b>largest lake in Iceland<\/b>, Pingvallavatn.<\/p>\n<h2>The spectacular fissures<\/h2>\n<p>This park is known for being located on <b>two tectonic plates<\/b>. Thanks to its movement, Iceland is growing in territory year after year. It is a must to visit Thingvellir and get up close to see its fissures.<\/p>\n<p><b>Walking through the Almannagj\u00e1<\/b> crack (to the west) or through Hrafnagi\u00e1 is a unique experience. So imagine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-iceland\/thingvellir-national-park\/silfra-fissure-snorkeling\" title=\"Silfra fissure snorkeling\">snorkeling in Silfra<\/a>, a crack that reaches a <b>depth of 131 ft (40m)<\/b>. This place is one of the best for diving in the world, thanks to its crystal clear water you can clearly observe the vertical walls of black rock.<\/p>\n<p>Also, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-iceland\/reykjavik\/snorkeling-silfra-golden-circle-combo\" title=\"Golden Circle Tour and snorkeling in Silfra\">Golden Circle Tour<\/a>, you have a more complete plan: snorkeling in Silfra and touring one of the most famous routes in the country, where you will see the Gullfoss waterfall.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-national-park.jpg?resize=640%2C379&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"divers in the rift between continents\" title=\"Thingvellir National Park\" width=\"640\" height=\"379\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-national-park.jpg?w=799&amp;ssl=1 799w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-national-park.jpg?resize=768%2C455&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-national-park.jpg?resize=101%2C60&amp;ssl=1 101w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h2>Oxar\u00e1rfoss waterfall<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best known sites in the reserve is the <b>Oxar\u00e1rfoss waterfall<\/b>. It is not noted for its size or height, but the drop of <b>crystalline water<\/b> is impressive.<\/p>\n<p>The waterfall is <b>in the Almannagj\u00e1 fissure<\/b>, near the country&#8217;s former parliament.  It flows into Lake Thingvallavatn, which, at 32mi\u00b2 (83 km\u00b2), is the largest lake in Iceland. It is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p>Very close by is the <b>Gullfoss waterfall<\/b> which is one of the most famous on the island, so if you get the chance we recommend you get close too. This gets exciting!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-park-waterfall.jpg?resize=640%2C373&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"General views \u00d6xar\u00e1rfoss waterfall\" title=\"\u00d6xar\u00e1rfoss\" width=\"640\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-park-waterfall.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-park-waterfall.jpg?resize=768%2C448&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/thingvellir-park-waterfall.jpg?resize=103%2C60&amp;ssl=1 103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h2>The wildlife<\/h2>\n<p>Looking closely at the <b>wild animals<\/b> of the place has something magical about it, don&#8217;t you think? It brings you calm and you always learn new things. And one of the things to do in Thingvellir National Park is to observe the wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>It is not that there are a lot of species but the animals that live here are unique, endemic. You&#8217;ll get to see the <b>American vison<\/b>, the <b>polar fox<\/b> and a lot of different birds \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n<h2>Thingvallakirkja: Iceland&#8217;s first church<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most historic corners of the park is <b>Thingvallakirkja church<\/b>. This monument is located in the central valley and has been in the same place <b>since the year 1000<\/b> approximately.<\/p>\n<p>What we can visit today was built in 1859, that is, the original structure of the church has been disappearing over time. Next to it you will find a <b>farm and the Iceland prime minister summer residence<\/b>. This summer residence had a grass roof and was huge, with three gables.<\/p>\n<p>Hiking in this area is breathtaking. Very close to this church you will come across different ruins and you can be teleported back to ancient Iceland. A big plus point is that in this area there are almost no tourists, it is very likely that you will go and be alone.<\/p>\n<h2>L\u00f6gberg (King&#8217;s Rock)<\/h2>\n<p>As we said before, the park is full of history, from the origin of the island with the tectonic plates movement, to the first church in the country. But, there&#8217;s something else, we introduce you to L\u00f6gberg, <b>where the Icelandic parliament was created<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This corner is also known as the King&#8217;s Rock, where <b>assemblies<\/b>,<b>judgments<\/b> were held &#8230; As a curious fact, one of the penalties was drowning in the Oxar\u00e1 River waters .<\/p>\n<p>Today nothing remains of the building but there is something magical about being able to visit the place that has marked the countries history.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kings-rock-iceland.jpg?resize=625%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the King's Rock in Thingvellir Park\" title=\"The King's Rock\" width=\"625\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kings-rock-iceland.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kings-rock-iceland.jpg?resize=94%2C60&amp;ssl=1 94w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This marvel of natural park has a thousand trails through which you can make different hiking trails and go seeing each of the points that we have highlighted.
