And I think there is no better way to visit the hot springs area of Geysir and the Golden Waterfall – Gullfoss – than by riding through the lovely countryside of South Iceland.
This summer I went as a guide in th...

The bulk of this day's journey was taken up by an unforgettable tour with the company "Iceland on Track". I had been to Iceland a few times before and wanted to do something a bit different from the bus tours I had been on in the past. As a result, I booked a private tour to the Langjökull glacie...

The waterfall Glymur, with a cascade of 196 m, is the highest waterfall of Iceland.
