Looking for the Dragon Canyon from 'Game of Thrones'

This canyon and valley are located in the southern part of Iceland and are incredibly beautiful. You can walk along the path to the starting point of the eastern side of the canyon. This path has been paved for some time now. From the parking lot, there is a trail leading to several viewpoints and observation platforms. Surprisingly, most tourists only check out the first two and ignore the farther one. In fact, it's just a few meters away and offers wonderful views and waterfalls. If you want to see the best views, you must walk all the way down. The river flowing through the valley comes from the Öræfajökull glacier, shaping this beautiful spot. This location was also used for filming the first episode of the eighth season of 'Game of Thrones'. Daenerys and Jon Snow are seen riding their dragons through this canyon. Driving from Route 1, take a gravel road suitable for cars of any size for 18 kilometers to reach the canyon's paid parking lot. You can easily complete the payment by scanning a QR code. The exact location can be found on Google Maps.
