Gullfoss Waterfall
Gullfoss Waterfall, also known as the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most famous and breathtaking natural attractions, located on the iconic Golden Circle route.

Öxarárfoss is a picturesque waterfall located in Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, one of Iceland’s most historically and geologically significant sites. Situated within the Golden Circle, this waterfall flows from the Öxará River and is surrounded by the dramatic Almannagjá gorge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Öxarárfoss is not one of Iceland’s largest waterfalls, but its setting within the rugged volcanic landscape makes it particularly unique and photogenic.
Thingvellir National Park
Our fourth and final stop before returning to Reykjavik will be the historic Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Iceland’s most culturally and geologically significant landmarks. Known as the birthplace of Icelandic democracy, Þingvellir is where the world’s oldest parliament, Althing, first convened in 930. Located in the Rift Valley, this stunning park also offers a unique opportunity to see and walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. For fans of Game of Thrones, Þingvellir’s dramatic landscapes served as a backdrop for several scenes in the hit series, making it a must-visit spot on the Golden Circle route.
