Consejos de viaje
Conocimiento local para explorar Icelandic Highlands
4x4 & F-roads
The Highlands are reachable only by F-roads, which legally require a 4x4. 2WD cars are prohibited and uninsured on them.
River crossings
Many F-roads have unbridged rivers. Never cross blind — walk it first, go slow and steady, and turn back if unsure.
Season
F-roads only open once snow clears — typically late June to early September. Check road.is for exact opening dates.
Self-sufficient
No fuel, shops or reliable signal inside the Highlands. Carry food, water, fuel and a paper map.
No car? No problem
Highland buses and Super Jeep day tours run from Reykjavík and the south to Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk in summer.
Landmannalaugar
Soak in the natural hot river after hiking the rhyolite trails — bring a swimsuit and sandals for the walk in.
