NATIONAL PARK THINGVELLIR
The natural surroundings are majestic and the contrasts are great. There is a system of interesting hiking trails all over the park. The present natural landscape has been in creation for about 9000 years and is still being created by the plate tectonics. The lake contains an abundance of at least four species of trout and char and angling is a popular pastime there. The farmers in the area net the lake and process the fish for the domestic and foreign markets. The distance from the capital is 49 km.Information
