1Pingvellir National Park
The Icelandic parliament, the Alþingi, was founded in the year 930 AD. The park is very interesting with geographical and historical significance. Here you can see the effect of the shift of tectonic plates that run through Iceland, which have opened large holes and cracks in the crust.

2Fridheimar
Friðheimar eco-area, where you will learn about growing organic vegetables using geothermal heat and grab a lunch. The theme of Friðheimar cuisine is tomatoes, in many different forms. And that’s not surprising, as four different varieties of tomato are cultivated in the greenhouses where lunch is served among the plants. A rare food experience.
