Within the three locations of the Golden Circle are some of the clearest examples of Iceland's fascinating geological forces, magnificent landscapes, and rich culture.The incredible Gullfoss was almost lost in the early 20th century when British developers sought to harness its incredible power for geothermal energy. Though approved for the lease, they met an unlikely adversary, the daughter of the farmer who owned it. This resilient woman refused to see the waterfall, to which she and her sisters paved the first path, destroyed. She, therefore, walked over 200km (124 miles) to Reykjavik and back multiple times to meet with a lawyer in order to help change the decision. The "Golden Waterfall" Gullfoss, is one of the most beautiful and powerful waterfalls in Iceland, plummeting 32mt (105 feet) in two tiers into the river gorge of the popular rafting river Hvita.The next attraction of the Golden Circle is Thingvellir National Park. The Icelandic parliament was founded here in 930 and remained until the year 1798 before moving to Reykjavik, making it the original site of what is now the world's longest ongoing parliament. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important places to visit in Iceland. Not just for its historical and cultural values, this area is ideal for its magnificent landscape and dramatic geology.The Geysir Geothermal Area is a hot spring haven in Haukadalur Valley.
