While I do believe one should stop and spend a short amount of time here, keep in mind that you will likely have a rather full day trying to do everything on the Golden Circle tour. Spending additional time here cost me a chance to see Gullfoss when the weather turned quite violent (I still made it to Gullfoss but couldnt physically get near the falls due to extremely terrible conditions). I wonder if my time was better spent getting to the falls earlier in the day and hitting this location on the way back. We parked at the visitor center and walked the trail down and eventually crossed the river and took several pictures. The vies were nice but like most of our trip, they were limited due to clouds and conditions. I probably should have hiked further to the Oxarafoss, but we were concerned with time. Take a lot of pictures and enjoy the history of the area and being in one of the areas in Iceland where Europe and North America meet.
这里的风景简直漂亮了,在金圈上的大部分旅行都包括来这里参观,你应该要充分利用这个机会哦。这个公园的历史和美景都会给你深刻的印象的,由于大陆架,这里的地形都凹凸不平,但是早大多数地方都还是有平坦的道路,奔流的河水清澈见底,叫人难以置信。
We visited the Thingvellir national park on a trip with Reyjavik excursions during the Golden circle tour. Our guide was very informative and told us about the North American and European continental plates which are parting by 2cm per year. We walked along the ridge from the bottom to the car park at the top. The path itself at the bottom was very icy. You can see the canyon and the break where the plates are pulling apart. There is a great viewing platform where you can see a beautiful church and a very clear lake. You can see for miles.The area is stunning even in the winter. There are many great photo opportunities.We visited in February and it was very cold so do take many layers of clothes and wrap up warm if visiting in the winter.This is a world hertitage site. This is where Icelands first parlement was formed.There are toilets at the top but these are chargeable.We would definatley be returning to see what it is like in the summer.
Fabulous trip as part of a classic Golden Circle tour. Just enough time to see around and walk through history shielded from the wind by fissures created from tectonic plates crashing together. No man's land - not in North America or Europe. Stunning scenery, highly recommended
I definitely get why most reviews are mentioning how scenic this is, but in my trip this was the one location that just didn't amaze - I strongly recommend renting a car and getting off of the Golden Circle.This area is also drowning in tourists, even in winter, so compared to other areas where you won't see a soul for miles, it definitely took me out of the experience.Next, keep in mind that there aren't any buildings for where parliament was - they've long since decayed. All you really see is some mounds of green where things used to be.
我老公和我经常去太平洋和加勒比海潜水,但现在我们决定跟ScubaIceland去平位利尔潜水。那里实在太美了-绝对值得去!即使我们是在光照时间只有几个小时的12月潜水,水下也很亮,甚至比岸上还亮。平位利尔蓝色礁湖比游泳池还清亮!!我们太爱它了,而ScubaIceland使得这趟经历更加愉快(价格合理,有耐心,在乎我们的安全和满意程度!)
Looked great in winter when we visited, most of the lake was frozen!We really needed more time to explore
Thingvellir National Park,这里的瑰丽极大地超出了我的预期。它刚好位于亚欧板块与美洲板块的交汇处,被认为是冰岛形成的起源。千万年前地质运动的遗址,天崩地裂造成的巨大的裂谷和断层,喷薄而出的诡异熔岩和热泉,会让你感受到盘古开天辟地的气势。至今这里地质运动仍然频繁,成为冰岛最有魅力的地方之一。Thingvellir Valley辛格维利尔裂谷,亚欧和美洲板块的分界,地球最美丽的伤疤。从裂谷东边走向西边,地质学角度上已经到美洲了,感觉很奇妙。裂谷至今仍然以每年2厘米的速度被撕扯开,走在里面可以感受到那种惊天地泣鬼神的张力。冰川融水倒灌在峡谷里形成狭窄深不见底的湖泊,土壤层层过滤已经清得不能再清了,有潜水经验且够勇敢的旅客可以组团跟随教练下潜。
Take the time to explore around and see the waterfalls and by the lake. Beautiful - a shame if you just stopped and rushed on...
我刚从冰岛旅游回来。我跟我男朋友决定像别人一样来个奢侈的环游。在网上查了很多资料后,我们发现了这次完美的旅游!坐潜艇去silfra crack环游!那是很棒的事情!简直无法用言语来形容!我能说的就是我们喜欢辛格维尔国家公园,喜欢它里面的喷泉和深渊一样的瀑布,但是最棒的旅行无疑是坐潜艇了!我们以前从来没有潜过水。导游人很好,他给了我们很多帮助,每样东西都给我们解释。如果你怕冰水那就不要去!他们会给你干衣服,你也不会觉得冷。只要衣服是干的,潜水之后你连毛巾都可以不用,根本不会被弄湿!我们是三月份去的,外面比水里冷多了。还有,不要被你的身体状况吓到,因为首先你一直是漂浮着的,然后有股气流把你送进潜艇里!我强烈建议你不要错过身处2块大陆的机会(美洲大陆和欧洲大陆)!(http://www.dive.is)。完成会更好,在水下的时候导游给我们拍了一些照片。后来他通过邮件寄给我们了!
