Make the Most of Your Bláskógabyggd Stay

A landscape shaped by fire and democracy

Bláskógabyggð sits at the heart of Iceland's Golden Circle, where tectonic plates drift apart and the world's oldest parliament once convened. This rural municipality encompasses Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where Iceland's Alþingi assembly was founded in 930 AD, alongside the thundering Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir geothermal area that gave all geysers their name. The landscape alternates between ancient lava fields, glacial rivers, and steaming hot springs, creating a setting that feels both primordial and alive.

Geothermal innovation and farm-to-table dining

The region's abundant geothermal energy powers more than natural spectacles. At Friðheimar, you'll dine on tomato-based cuisine inside a working greenhouse warmed by volcanic heat, while Laugarvatn Fontana offers lakeside geothermal baths where rye bread is baked underground using steam vents. Hotel Geysir provides upscale accommodations near Strokkur, which erupts every 5 to 10 minutes. The historic village of Skálholt, Iceland's ecclesiastical capital for 7 centuries, now features a modern cathedral with striking stained glass.

Accessing Iceland's interior

Most travelers arrive via rental car from Keflavík International Airport, about 90 minutes west. The municipality serves as an ideal base for excursions to Langjökull glacier's ice tunnels or the colorful rhyolite mountains of Landmannalaugar during summer months.
