We take course to the East towards lake Þingvallavatn, Iceland´s biggest natural lake. There we stop to visit the Þingvellir National Park where you can eyewitness a rift valley where two continental plates have been drifting apart for thousands of years. The place is also historically very important since Iceland´s first parliament was established in the middle in the rift valley in the year 930. It is believed to be the oldest continually operating parliament in the world. At this place Icelanders celebrate all major events occurring in the country´s history. It is the only UNESCO‘s cultural world-heritage site in Iceland. From there we drive a track which lies behind the picturesque Skjaldbreid shield volcano, and after about a two hours drive on the rough trails we get back to normal paved roads again.
Drumbó river rafting base camp is our stop for lunch and afterwards a great rafting trip on the Hvítá river. It is a beautiful river running through a picturesque canyon, with fun rapids and a great optional cliff jump. After the rafting trip, showers and sauna are at hand before going on the road again.
