WHAT IS THE GOLDEN CIRCLE TOUR IN ICELAND

Whether your itinerary is of one day or one week, you should never return without exploring the classic Golden Circle route of Iceland. Any visitor to this nation must traverse through this route and explore all the sites. It is one of the most popular pathways, and almost everyone who visits Iceland knows about it beforehand. The course remains open for visitors all year, though the summer months are the most crowded times

THE THINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK Once

the

super jeep takes you out of Reykjavik on the G olden Circle Tours Iceland , booked from discover.is, the first stop will be the Thingvellir National park.

The main

attraction of this place is that it sits on the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

The other information worth knowing is that it has been the ground where the first parliament building in the world stood.

THE GEOTHERMAL FIELDS OF GEYSIR

The second official stop on the Golden Circle Tours Iceland is the Geysir Geothermal Field. It is one of the most famous stops on this route.

Geysir isn’t active anymore, and it is a shame.

However, its younger brother, the Strokkur will be spurting hot water out of the crevices and straight into the air at the height of about fifty feet in every ten to fifteen minutes.

THE GULLFOSS WATERFALL

After exiting the Geysir area, you will travel towards the Gullfoss waterfall. You can check out this waterfall from two main areas. If you’re short on time, then you can stick to one site, but if you have time, you should witness this wonder of nature from both the lookout spots. You should dress warmly and pack a raincoat too.

THE KERID

Kerid is a volcanic crater which came into existence about six thousand and five hundred years ago. Now, it is a hole in the ground at the bottom of which you see a lake. However, you shouldn’t find this place dull or lousy at all. The sharp red color of the volcanic soil, combined with the green plants and the blue waters create an explosion of shades which you won’t see anywhere else.

THE SECRET LAGOON Yes, the guides and drivers of the travel agency mentioned here will introduce a few secret areas, but there is a place on the Golden Circle route which is a mystery in itself.

The

sheer

number

of

people

frequenting it will be quite bewildering to you though. After all, it offers relaxing moments where the temperature of the water is around a hundred degrees.

DON’T MISS IT

You’re a traveler who doesn’t like crowds, and the Golden Circle is quite an attractor of visitors. You shouldn’t make the mistake of missing out this location though. A part of Iceland resides in this relatively small route.

Only when you see it will you realize the reason behind the fame of the Golden Circle.

It is a combination of beautiful stops and unique landscapes.
