our routes in Iceland

Last year my wife and I were in Iceland again. The more we go there, the more beautiful it seems to become. This year the emphasis was on the Highlands and the east. We came to the most beautiful places where (almost) no one else was. Wonderfully remote. Later i heard that we were very lucky with the weather again, because we hardly had any rain in 2 weeks. Often a lot of wind. Since we had quite a few river crossings (more than 20) I rented a large car: a Toyota Landcruiser, mountain modified (large tires) with high air intake. And we needed it!! Once, the water ran over the hood during a river crossing.

At Askja we drove on a track (much worse than most Froads I know) towards the Kárahnjúkavirkjun reservoir. In this case the track was a search path. No one else was crazy enough to ride this track and it took us about 3 hours to cover 30 km. But it was so beautiful (and exciting).

The Fjallabaksleið Syðri (F210) and F216 are also recommended; at high speed (6X) through a water plain (about 1 km) at Maelifell, the sandstorm and the views.... extraordinarily beautiful.

There are still some very difficult roads that we have not yet traveled. So????

One of the most beautiful places for us is the ice lake Jökulsárlón (see yellow arrow). We were there almost every year.

Soon I will post some photos from 2024 and 2023. I hope you like them.
