Iceland Road Map (Country Road & Touring): Wegenkaart 1:400 000

Product Information

With F208 North vs F208 South, it’s a tale of two roads, which are significantly different from each other. The road is better to be avoided if you don’t have all it takes – a proper car, enough experience, and perfect knowledge of river crossing rules.

That map seems to show clearly where the Highland huts are which will help out greatly for our trip (via bicycle).A perfect resource for any work centered in Iceland, for planning trips or as a display in the home or office. We were more than happy, however, to have our big Land Cruiser with enough ground clearance and enough horsepower in case of a car got stuck or in case of meeting another car. That’s the reason why the trail was quite wet in the beginning and after the elevation, there was quite a bit of snow still on the road. Between the Skælingar track and Blautulón track to Langisjór What car do I need for Skælingar Blautulón track?

F881 is a road in the Icelandic Highlands connecting F26 and F821, located in the very heart of Iceland. That being said, we better recommend taking any 4wd car, even a small-sized SUV, that would be fine for this part of F208 even in worse weather. Then, you can either turn back and drive back via the neighboring Faxasund track or finish your journey towards Langisjór in the eastern direction. A typical scenario involves a steep ascent combined with a hole slalom followed by “I-cannot-see-in-front-of-me” steep descent of similar quality. River crossings on F208 south were among the 3 biggest river crossings we’d encountered during our Icelandic trip (we chose to do medium-sized river crossings at maximum).The track is mostly fair, but there is one section where it crosses a dry riverbed with big round stones for a few hundred meters. The road takes you all the way up to the station for snowmobile tours on Vatnajökull, where it ends. However, if you want to stay overnight, this is allowed only at designated campsites and you have to pay for it around 3000 ISK (25 USD). Compared to the main alternative – F88 – the road F905 (and F910) to Askja is longer, more versatile and I would say more beautiful. Central F910 is a long and deserted drive, so be sure to be equipped with enough water/food in case something goes wrong, possibly also an emergency phone or anything similar.

However, under good weather conditions and when the snow is already melted it’s more or less an easy 4wd drive. F66 is the only road that leads across the central Westfjords and directly connects the northern part of Westfjords with the southern part.To be sure to drive the Skaelingar track even in bad weather, we better recommend driving a super jeep with high ground clearance for the whole area. F232, or Öldufell, or Öldufellsleið is the legendary road depicted in all of these pictures where you see a car driving virtually over the waterfall.
