    F347 – Kerlingafjallavegur

    Kerlingarfjallavegur connects F35 to the famous Kerlingarfjöll mountains, through the center of Iceland. The lunar surroundings are worth the challenging drive which will take you to Gýgjarfoss waterfall nestled between two glaciers. There are two river crossings on this route, with one being quite shallow and the other one quite deep, especially after heavy rain. This route is most often ok, must use caution.

    F-Roads – South

    Deep river crossings. Do not use.


    F261 – Emstruleið

    Emstruleið is a very rugged road that is 37kms long through Þórsmörk toward South Fjallabak Nature reserve (Fjallabaksleið syðri) There are a few river crossings on this road, so it may not be possible to complete the entire route.


    F210 – Fjallabaksleið syðri

    Deep river crossings. Do not use.


    F224 – Landmannalaugavegur

    F224 (Landmannalaugavegur) is a short mountain road located in the south of Iceland. It leads to a mountain hut in the valley of Landmannalaugar. It is a rough and challenging road and it’s only suitable for 4×4 vehicles with very high ground clearance and experienced drivers. Expect large potholes, many ruts and large boulders on their surface, along the route there is a double fjord. Do not attempt to cross with one car, or during heavy rain. It can be treacherous if the water level rises due to lots of rain and warm weather.

    There is a parking before the river crossings and it is best to leave the car there and walk 10 minutes to the campsite 


    F225 – Landmannaleið

    Landmannaleið is a beautiful road to explore which is 41kms long and takes you from Landvegur toward North Fjallabak Nature reserve (Fjallabaksleið Nyrðri) in the South of Iceland. This road does have a few river crossings, which may mean you must turn back if the depth is higher than the creek level.


    F228 – Veiðivatnaleið

    Veiðivatnaleið is a Martian-like road that connects road F26 to Skalavatn Lake. This road is deserted most of the time and there are a few river crossings, which may mean you must turn back if the depth is higher than creek level.


    F208 – Fjallabaksleið Nyrðri

    Even though this route is labeled Green, it’s still a tricky route that can be in a very bad condition. It is, however, stunning in a lot of ways.


    F233 – Álftavatnskrókur

    Álftavatnskrókur is a 20kms long road that connects the North and South of Fjallabak Nature reserve in the South of Iceland. However, it does contain a serious river, so it’s not possible to complete the entire road. But driving up towards the river, and back, is well worth the trip in our opinion.


    F206 – Lakavegur – Lakagígar

    Lakagígar is 41kms long and takes around 3-4 hours to complete. An absolutely fantastic landscape, this road leads to Laki Crater in the Vatnajökull national park. The road does contain multiple rivers, which may mean you must turn back if the depth is higher than creek level.

    F-Roads – North

    F839 – Leirdalsheiðarvegur

    Leirdalsheiðarvegur runs 27kms from Hvalvatnsfjörður to Grenivík in the north of Iceland. The road is rough and contains a few low-level streams/rivers, so it is important to check the depth. This road is completely deserted most of the time and cell networks can be patchy, so it is advised to travel in a convoy if possible.


    F899 – Flateyjardalsvegur

    Flateyjardalsvegur is a 34km long serious drive through Austurádalur valley. There are a few smell low-level streams/rivers, so it is important to check the depth. Steep in some parts.


    F862 – Dettifoss

    Dettifoss From Ring Road 1 to Dettifoss West Parking Lot is paved, but continuing north this road turns into an F-Road and requires a 4×4. No river crossings to worry about and this leads you toward Asbyrgi Canyon.

    F-Roads – Central

    F35 – Kjölur

    Kjölur is the most popular mountain route that takes you from Geysir on the Golden Circle, right through the middle of Iceland to the north.


    F26 – Sprengisandsleið

    Sprengisandsleið takes you through the center of Iceland, running 232kms between Hofsjökull and Vatnajökull glaciers via Sprengisandur. Parts of this road are covered by deep rivers, so it is important to check the depth. A long and challenging road, we advise against taking the full route. This road is extremely remote and in terrible shape, it is believed to be haunted and is subject to severe highland weather. No gas stations along this route.


    F752 – Skagafjarðarleið

    Skagafjarðarleið is 120kms long and links route F26 to Varmahlíð, in northern Iceland. There are some creeks and low-level rivers across this route, so it is important to check the depth. A rough and challenging road with almost no cell network. The road itself has large potholes and ruts, and the surrounding landscape is very harsh and remote.


    F821 – Eyjafjarðarleið

    Eyjafjarðarleið runs for 40kms from Laugarfell toward Akureyri. The drive is long and bumpy (40kms) but there are no rivers to cross. Driving through a lush green country valley, it makes for a very beautiful drive.


    F881 – Dragaleið

    Dragaleið is an 18km journey linking F26 with F821. This is the highest road in Iceland, reaching 944m (3,097ft) elevation. This is a road less traveled and with minimal cell coverage. No rivers to worry about, but the road is very bumpy and lunar.

    F-Roads – East

    F910 – Austurleið

    The road into Lake Askja from the F905 or the (impassable) F88. The F910 has three crossings, but they can be crossed. Make sure you arrive via the F905.


    F88 – Öskjuleið

    Öskjuleið, also known as Askja Road, is an 80km stretch toward Askja caldera. This is probably the most awe-inspiring F-Road in Iceland, and the landscape is like another planet. Peppered with volcanoes and mountains, volcanic crater lakes that you can swim in (Víti Crater Lake is 30c and safe for swimming) small rivers (passable at low tide) and an eerily black terrain covered in wildflowers. The Askja region is very special.


    F905 – Arnardalsleið

    Arnardalsleið is 60kms long and has some wide and shallow river crossings, taking you from F910 toward Möðrudalsleið in the East through ancient lava fields. The track is very bumpy, very muddy during rain, and has deep potholes and wide, shallow rivers to cross. – cell network is also minimal and it’s not a busy route.


    F894 – Öskjuvatnsvegur

    Öskjuvatnsvegur is only a short 8km drive but is in a terrible condition. The drive takes you from the car park at Vikraborgir to Dreki Mountain Huts on F910. Black lava landscapes dominate here, making the short drive very otherworldly.


    F902 – Kverkfjallaleið

    Kverkfjallaleið runs for 84kms between Kverkfjöll mountain and F905 in southeast Iceland. A very challenging and bumpy road, it takes you into a very remote and seldom visited part of Iceland, therefore cell network is non-existent. It is a long and twisting track between brown slopes, very reminiscent of being on Mars.


    F903 – Hvannalindavegur

    Hvannalindavegur is a challenging mostly soft-sand track located in the Eastern Region of Iceland. It links Vatnajökull Glacier from F910. This route is remote with no cell service and rarely passing traffic. It does have two significant river crossings over river Lindá and is littered with potholes and fords. It’s so remote, Google doesn’t even recognize it as a road.


    F909 – Snæfellsleið

    Snæfellsleið is an extremely challenging trail that leads 32kms from Vatnajökull glacier toward road 910. Considered one of the most extreme roads in Iceland. With deep potholes and ruts, as well as several deep river crossings, it means this road may not be possible to complete entirely, even for modified super jeeps.


    F946 – Loðmundarfjarðarvegur

    Loðmundarfjarðarvegur is just under 38kms long and leads from Borgarfjörður Eystri to Klyppsstaðir, via Húsavík in the east (N.B. there are two places named Húsavík in Iceland, the other located in the north) An incredibly scenic drive with incredible geologic formations to look out for. Extreme heights in some locations. The road ends, so account for the 2-hour drive back when you head out. One of the more famous routes, and one of the most deserted.


    F980 – Kollmúluvegur

    Very deep rivers. Do not use.


    F985 – Jökulvegur

    Jökulvegur is a beautiful 17km track alongside Skálafellsjökull. It offers amazing views and no river crossings; however, the road is quite bumpy and extremely steep in places.
