The Golden Circle area The Golden Circle area is as vast as it is diverse. Þingvellir national park, Gullfoss, and Geysir comprise the famous travel route from which the area derives its name. To its south lies lush farmland, villages, and the coastline. To the northeast lie mountain roads into the alluring, uninhabited Highlands. Despite the regions vastness, you can stand near its western border in Þorlákshöfn and see the Hekla volcano over 85 kilometers away, in its far eastern part.
LANDMANNALAUGAR
The area has a longstanding history of producing dairy products, meat, and vegetables. More recently, geothermal energy has become a source of innovation in food production. Popular local handcrafts range from items made of wool to wood and glass. It is safe to say that green energy, agriculture, and tourism define the Golden circle area.

Raufarhólshellir
There are many caves in the lava fields in Ölfus and the largest being Raufarhólshellir by road no. 39. A journey into Raufarhólshellir is a unique experience and a great opportunity to witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption as one walks in the path of lava that flowed during the Leitahraun eruption, which occurred east of the Bláfjöll mountains about 5200 years ago. The cave is a popular location for many films and i.e. the film Noah (2014) was partly shot in the cave. Daily tours are available in Raufarhólshellir. GPS N63° 56.367’, W21° 23.807’

Canals that run throughout the area of Flói, from Ölfusá in the west to Þjórsá in the east, are called Flóaáveita. This magnificent structure consists of 300-km-long canals and 900 km of embankments. Flóaáveita covers about 12 thousand hectares of land and was a major change in farming and production in the area at the time. The construction of the system began in 1922. When officially opened in 1927, it was one of the largest structures in Europe. It still plays an important role in transporting water between fields and farms in the area. An information sign is located beside road no. 303. From that point, you can drive or walk along the newly opened Þórsvegur all the way to the main gate of Flóaáveita. To the east of the gate is a marked hiking trail along the Hvítá river (about 4.4 km one way). GPS N63° 56’ 33.235”, W20° 49’ 0.936”

Geothermal Energy
SOUTH ICELAND
Geothermal energy is perhaps the most defining element of the Golden Circle area. Hot water wells from cracks in the soil, simmers in comfortable pools and gushes up in powerful geysers. Geothermal energy provides heating for homes, keeps greenhouses warm year-round, and allows you to relax in warm pools, even during the coldest days of winter.
Strandarkirkja
Strandarkirkja in Selvogur was originally built in the 12th century. The story relates that one night a group of sailors tried to navigate back to Iceland in a storm, but the southern coast of Iceland is notorious for its hidden reefs and rough coast. The distressed sailors prayed to God for a safe return and vowed to build a church wherever they landed. When they ended their prayer, an angel appeared before their bow, seemingly made of light. The angel guided them through the rough surfs and led them into a bay for safe landing. The sailors kept their promise and built a wooden church at the site and named it Strandarkirkja.

Gullfoss is two separate waterfalls, the upper one with a drop of 11 meters and the lower 21 meters. For thousands of years, the river has followed its course delighting tourists with beauty and power. Sigríður Tómasdóttir, the farmer’s daughter in Brattholt by Gullfoss, was born in 1871. She often accompanied visitors to Gullfoss, many of whom had traveled great distances to catch sight of it. At the turn of the 19th-century, efforts began to acquire the rights to waterfalls in Iceland for industrial and hydroelectric purposes, often by agents for foreign enterprises. When Gullfoss came into the possession of such agents, Sigríður rose to fight against several of the most powerful men in Iceland. GPS N64° 19’ 38.220”, W20° 7’ 8.135”

Stóri Hellir - Hellisskógur
The cave was formed during a latter glacial period by sea erosion. Sea levels have been higher than now several times, and signs of sea erosion can be seen on more cliffs in the area, which are made of around 0,7-3,1 million-year-old basalt.

19 Þjórsárdalur
In the days of the old Commonwealth, Þjórsárdalur valley was grassy and flourishing with about 20 farmsteads, but in 1104 it was laid waste by an eruption from Mt. Hekla. The farms buried under a layer of volcanic ash have been a goldmine for archaeologists. Sites of about 40 buildings have been unearthed in Þjórsárdalur, and the best preserved and most remarkable is the farmhouse at Stöng, excavated in 1939. Based upon the Stöng farmhouse, a replica Saga-Age farmhouse was built in 1974 to mark the 1100th anniversary of the settlement of Iceland. The replica farmhouse is open to visitors in summer, together with a replica of an early church. A visit to the nearby Hjálparfoss waterfall (pictured above) is also recommended.
