Thingvellir ( Þingvellir ) National Park in western Iceland from drone Phantom 4
Valley Thingvellir (Þingvellir) has enormous historical importance for Iceland. In the 930 years it took place here the first meeting of the Icelandic parliament - the Althing, which is one of the oldest parliamentary institutions of the world, who sit today. The name refers to the location of the event Thing - assembly Vellir - valley.
Althing was held here until the end of VXIII century. Also in this place June 17, 1944 it was announced the full independence of the Republic of Iceland. Currently, MPs sitting every day in Reykjavik moving on holidays just to Thingvellir.
The original settlers of Iceland, mainly exiles from the Scandinavian countries had enough of governments kings or earls. On top of that they liked to put on her, which often ended in bloodshed. To solve this problem, earnestly sought for the place that will be able to accommodate the thousands of people, cattle, and ensured good acoustics. This place has just been found in the valley Oxary on the northern shore of the biggest lake in Iceland Thingvallavatn.
Walking nearby canyon Almannagja, we come to the marked Icelandic flag Logberg rock (rock 'rights), which called for opening the session of the parliament. It was also the place where he officiated, ie. Preacher of the law, a person familiar with the law and all the rules and customs prevailing in Iceland and the place of office Logretta - elders coming from individual municipalities.
Apart from the establishment of new rights, success of implementation of new regulations, made also the courts and in the nearby villages made judgments. Women drowned, and the guilty men were removed from the law. If the convict did not immediately leave the island, and in those days it was very difficult to wait his death very often brutally (how the condemned man dying because depend on the imagination torturers).
Thingvellir National Park
It is at Thingvellir, Iceland agreed to accept Christianity. After a stormy meetings pagan preacher law Thorgeir Þorkelsson persuaded gathered to amend an existing religion. There is also one of the oldest churches on the island - Þingvallakirkja. Although the first temple was built in this place already x XI., Today, you can see a building dating from 1859 years. Inside are legendary Bell Iceland from previous churches, immortalized in the novel by Nobel Prize winner Halldor Laxness, antique pulpit of the seventeenth century, one of the oldest bible Icelandic and altar 1834. At the local cemetery they are buried locals priests and poets.
The park laid out a number of hiking trails. One of them leads to the farm þingvallabaer, designed by architect Guðjón Samuelsson, which was built to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the parliament. He currently serves as the office park ranger and is a summerhouse, Prime Minister of the country.
In Thingvellir is also a gap which is the boundary between two tectonic plates: the Eurasian and North American.
Here, too, it is the largest lake located on an island Thingvallavatn, with an area of 83.7 km2 and a depth of up to 114m. The bottom of the lake is unstable, earthquakes cause raising or lowering the level of flowing to the size of the lake.

Thingvellir National Park - Iceland Best Place - Travel & Discover
Thingvellir, is a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland.
The name Þingvellir is derived from the Old Norse Þingvǫllr, from þing (“thing, assembly”) and vǫllr (“field”), meaning assembly fields. Compare the English thing and weald (“Thingweald”) from Anglo-Saxon þing and weald. The site takes its name from Alþing (Althing), the national parliament of Iceland, which was founded at Þingvellir in 930 and held its sessions there until 1798. A thing was a form of governing assembly found in Germanic societies, and a tradition that endures to this day in one form or another across Northern Europe.

Thingvellir National Park - VIDEO TOUR (Þingvellir, Iceland)
Really cool national part, on the golden circle, and not too far from Reykjavik! They have a huge lake, and lots and lots of photo opportunities where tectonic plates meet!! You can drive around the entire area on some very nice quiet roads. Thingvellir National Park is free to enter and it's open 24 hours. We parked here to sleep overnight lol :)
Home of Silfra!
Silfra is a fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Thingvellir National Park. The rift was formed in 1789 by the earthquakes accompanying the divergent movement of the two tectonic plates. The diving and snorkeling site at Silfra is right where the two continents meet and drift apart about 2 cm per year. Silfra is the only place in the world where you can dive or snorkel directly in a crack between two tectonic plates.

Standing on 2 tectonic plates: Iceland Thingvellir national park | Golden Circle
Our first stop on the golden circle route, starting from Reykjavik, is the Thingvellir National Park. This is the only place on earth where you will see two tectonic plates meeting above water! It is a spectacular view indeed! In fact, the North-American plate and the Eurasian plate are tearing away from each other at a rate of about 2 cm per year! As a result, the plain is scarred by dramatic fissures, ponds and rivers, including the great rift Almannagjá.
Good to know: You don't pay anything to enter the park. You just have to pay 750 IKR (about 6 USD) for parking.
We can definitely recommend, visiting this beautiful place!
