It's the classical tour for visitors of Iceland: The so-called Golden Circle, which allows you to visit three mayor places of interest within one day. It comprises Gullfoss Waterfall, Thingvellir National Park and hot spring area around Haukadalur with the famous natural phenomena: geysers.
Gulfoss Waterfall: a most impressive glacial runoff, noisy, deathly cold and in winter partly frozen.
Thingvellir National Park: a world heritage site of historical and geological importance: location of the ancient viking's annual parliament and also a place, where the Eurasian and the Norther American plates are visually drift apart - by means of 2 centimeters or 0,8 inch per year.
Geyser in Haukadalur: site of the Great Geysir, which actually is THE one geyser, that gave name to all other geysers and, furthermore, is the only Icelandic word, that was
adopted by other languages in the world.
