Meanwhile, all three of the Golden Circle's highlights are less than a 30-minute drive from Hotel Laugarvatn.

Thingvellir National Park, 11.5 miles (18.5 kilometers) from the hotel, offers a fascinating glimpse into Iceland's geological and cultural history. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's home to a rift valley separating the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

The Geysir geothermal area is 17 miles (28 kilometers) west of Hotel Laugarvatn. This beautiful valley boasts the powerful Strokkur geyser, which erupts with hot water into the air every few minutes.

Though the Golden Circle is the most accessible sightseeing route in the area, you can also explore the South Coast and the west sites within a day from the hostel. Furthermore, there are plenty of little-known hiking trails within the vicinity.
