TOP excursion destinations in Iceland
Iceland’s capital Reykjavik is the northernmost city in the world with a population of just under 130,000. Once settled by Vikings, today it presents itself to visitors as an up-and-coming city with a beautiful city center and a lively art and music scene.
The Hallgrimskirche with its 73 meter high tower towers above all other buildings in Reykjavik. Their appearance is truly imposing. The elevator takes you up to the tower, from where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the entire city.
Bláa Lónið is a man-made hot water lake where you can enjoy a relaxing swim at 37 to 42 degrees Celsius. Diatoms are responsible for the milky blue colour of the salt water. They gave the Blue Lagoon its name.
Among the spectacular natural spectacles are Iceland’s waterfalls. Thus the water masses of the Gullfoss fall over two steps altogether 30 meters thundering into the depth. While the water of Skógafoss falls 60 metres, visitors can walk up the 66-metre-high Seljalandsfoss from behind.
Iceland is also known for its geysers. Absolutely worth seeing is the Strokkur (in German: Butterfass), which shoots every six to ten minutes a hot water fountain of up to 35 meters into the air.
The Vatnajökull glacier (water glacier) is the most powerful in Europe. The glacier hikes on offer lead through adventurous landscapes over ice and include a visit to the ice caves and glacier lagoons.
Besides glaciers, Iceland also offers fascinating volcanoes. In 2010, Eyjafjallajökull became famous worldwide due to a spectacular eruption. Among the most dangerous volcanoes in Iceland are the active Hekla and the dormant Katla.
In Þingvellir National Park, visitors can admire the rift between the American and European continental plates.
They drift apart at a rate of two centimetres per year, creating a clearly visible rift.
