Our opinion:<\/h3>\n\n<p>Yes, we think Thingvellir National Park is well worth a visit in winter! Snow-covered landscapes, seismic faults, a gigantic lake and glistening ice, this 24,000-hectare area brought us the natural beauty of Iceland&#8217;s wonders. Thingvellir is famous not only for its geology, but also for its historical symbolism. The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-golden-circle-winter-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

Day or multi-day excursions are available, including Thingvellir National Park. Guided tour drivers are used to winter roads and weather conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By car<\/strong>: Reykjavik is a 1-hour drive from Thingvellir, and as this road is very popular with tourists in winter, it is regularly cleared of snow. If you always drive carefully during the day, you can easily <a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/renting-car-iceland-tips-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rent a car<\/a> on site and get there on your own, giving you more freedom of movement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Drive\/i-QZJ9nDN\/1\/KHkqtCBX666jZMqFBDfNkn4fKtmLds578L8mwtsLs\/L\/drive_to_Golden_Circle_Iceland-1364-L.jpg\" alt=\"car on the road\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Normally, the roads are cleared quickly enough for access.

The days are shorter, especially from December to February, so we recommend you take this into account when planning your visit.<br\/>This natural site is accessible all year round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except for special weather conditions), but we advise you to visit when it&#8217;s light out.<\/p>\n\n<p>Entrance to the park is free, but parking charges start at ISK 1,000, depending on vehicle capacity and size (see the latest prices on the official website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thingvellir.is\/en\/service\/parking-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-6rGkSXb\/1\/MvCx7ZVc8KKZVP3n2KNtSWR4L5fdVBtdGC5wCxdbs\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1383-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of part of the park in winter\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Length of visit and main difficulties<\/h3>\n\n<p>A 2-hour hike from the Visitor Center allows you to see all the park&#8217;s attractions. Depending on your interests, we recommend that you spend between 2 and 2.5 hours on site to get the most out of it, admire the panoramic views and take it easy on the paths in winter. Even if they are regularly cleared to make it easier to get around during your visit, bear in mind that the ground on the main paths can be slippery due to ice or snow. Temperatures can also be very low. Don&#8217;t forget to bring warm clothes and good shoes to feel comfortable. Some of the smaller trails are closed. Other trails are less well-maintained and more winding, such as the one from Oxararfoss to the waterfall. Be careful with your children as the cracks run deep in the rock. There are fewer visitors than in summer, but it&#8217;s still a popular place to visit because it&#8217;s a unique winter experience! Last but not least, there is partial PRM access, with wheelchair paths and parking facilities.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-tbmH574\/1\/MLddnN6wdbQ2cf5d7sBpZRv4wVRf2SzgSmRLQknkf\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1418-L.jpg\" alt=\"snow-covered path\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advice on how to visit<\/h3>\n\n<p>The direction of visit is not imposed. We recommend arriving at parking lot P1 for the 2-hour winter hike. You&#8217;ll see all the park&#8217;s attractions. Start with a view of the whole park from the platform, then descend to the Almannagj\u00e1 Canyon. Continuing along this path, you&#8217;ll reach the Rock of the Law, also known as L\u00f6gberg. You&#8217;ll recognize it easily, as there&#8217;s an Icelandic flag at this level. A short path leads from the P2 parking lot to the Oxararfoss waterfall, but it&#8217;s more winding, so be careful! After stopping to admire the scenery and the frozen waterfall, return to the trail and cross Route 361 into the forest. You&#8217;ll then arrive at the historic Skogarkot farm and ruins. On the way back, you&#8217;ll pass through lava fields before spotting the wooden Thingvallakirkja Church and the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-T97Xqnk\/1\/LmJQPCdLqtTPLtRsgv4HCGxVkV2vB48tvkbWf85wh\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1424-L.jpg\" alt=\"directional sign at the park\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting with children<\/h3>\n\n<p>The site&#8217;s historical and geological significance will appeal to young and old alike! It&#8217;s also a great place to teach your children to reconnect with nature. If you&#8217;re visiting the park as a family, dress your children as warmly as you do, with several layers. Don&#8217;t forget to fit them with shoes that won&#8217;t slip on snow or ice, and there are crampons for children. We also recommend using Thingvellir&#8217;s main roads, which are easier to get around.<br\/>The welcome center near parking lot P1 will enable you to take a warm break with your little ones if need be. Finally, opting for a child-friendly guided tour can be a safer and more child-friendly option.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-DsWvbhc\/1\/M8KgWjSjQ6pRt3sjgLWjhzj2dR5tvJRRsD6ZMhvJR\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1425-L.jpg\" alt=\"warning sign slippery floor\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catering, toilets and facilities<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Food court in parking lot P1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toilets at the visitor center, parking lots P1\/P2\/P5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Main road between parking lots P1 and P2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diving and snorkeling activities in parking lot P5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-8k34Q2B\/1\/Mkf8vMHSdzMcvLqDb75BQN27TrbKm5pjD9dzGVDXD\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1378-L.jpg\" alt=\"park visitor center\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Park Visitor Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\">UNFORGETTABLE ACTIVITIES IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\"> winter<\/span> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=iceland+winter+ice+cave&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Visit an ice cave<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=iceland+winter+glacier+hike&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Glacier hiking<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=iceland+whale+watching&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Whale watching<\/a> (from Reykjavik, Husavik or Akureyri)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column ville-radius is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-portrait\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/South-Coast-in-Winter\/Jokulsarlon\/Blue-ice-cave\/i-46mXBBx\/1\/C87JBB8LhkDnd8m3CHST8wQkDNjkZL4xTSQ8RPfxp\/S\/Jokulsarlon_ice_Caves_Iceland-3750-S.jpg\" alt=\"ice cave in Iceland\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thingvellir_Park_Icelands_national_symbol\"><\/span>Thingvellir Park, Iceland&#8217;s national symbol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Did you know that Iceland&#8217;s parliament, the oldest in the world, was founded here in the 10th century? Parliamentarians met here until the end of the 18th century &#8211; fascinating, isn&#8217;t it? Thingvellir National Park was established between 1928 and 1930 to protect the remains of the parliament site, then extended to include the natural aspect as well. In 2004, the area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical, cultural and geological importance. We also learned that &#8220;Thingvellir&#8221; literally means &#8220;plains of parliament&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-kPcLBGx\/1\/KtXVGtkhgNg779d2vKm57QHMpmXQ9KjhBgHZPrSgM\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-3470-L.jpg\" alt=\"Panoramic view of Thingvellir Park in winter\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The tour route is signposted, with numerous explanatory panels in Icelandic and English.

It reaches a depth of around 70m &#8211; impressive, isn&#8217;t it?<br\/>Note that the path between parking lots P1 and P2 is about 1 km long. Made up of small gravels, it is regularly cleared and maintained by the National Park. As we walked along, we noticed that the path slopes down and then flattens out until we reach P2.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-HBHQkh2\/1\/LGC4PTNBHK9Q2mMKSjQLCgM69JJKT7FLTvpKBvRxx\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1403-L.jpg\" alt=\"canyon walk between rock walls\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>It was on this path that we stood between 2 rock walls, the narrowest and most easily accessible area in the Almannagja Canyon. After a while, turn your head to the right and you&#8217;ll notice that the landscape opens up, leaving only the left wall if you&#8217;re walking towards parking lot P2.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thingvellir National Park taught us a lot about the geological nuggets it shelters, such as this canyon. As tectonic plates move, new crust forms and accumulates on the edges of faults. The oldest rocks are therefore far away on the east and west fjords.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Golden-Circle\/Thingvellir\/i-Pg8N2Rc\/1\/NJJ6cK45DbXL6rnqPc4HWRzGF3p39x4c9SgzV3vkq\/L\/Thingvellir_National%20_Park_Iceland-1407-L.jpg\" alt=\"Path between P1 and P2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The Almannagja seismic fault is part of an active volcanic region that extends as far as the Langj\u00f6kull glacier, Iceland&#8217;s 2nd largest.

Do you follow?<\/p>\n\n<p>This fault between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates forms at the foot of an ancient volcano, and is one of the largest in the region.

is one of the unique experiences you can have in Thingvellir National Park in winter. Silence, clear water and rock walls&#8230; The Silfra Fault in the heart of Thingvellir National Park offers an incredible spectacle all year round. Diving and snorkeling activities start at the park&#8217;s P5 (Valholl) parking lot. On the program: diving and snorkeling between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates.

On the other hand, the story of this river and its waterfall is chilling. This is where women convicted of crimes were drowned.
