Þingvellir National Park in Iceland is a fascinating place, whether you are interested in nature, geology, history or film. The views are breathtaking and the landscape very special, as you are right at the point where the major continental plates meet.

Coming here on a rough March day, with a boat ride across a grey sea and a luxurious lunch in Iceland's oldest stone house, was also an experience!

The Blue Lagoon in Iceland offers a wonderful and relaxing spa in geothermal hot water. Although the Blue Lagoon has become a major tourist attraction, we highly recommend a visit here. The warm turquoise blue water and the contrastingly cool air give off a sense of calm that even the tourist crowds can't beat. The Blue Lagoon is a must!
