hello,
is this route 214 is available for no F-road vehicle? we hire a Camp Van (Renault Traffic) and would like to make some hiking there.
Regards,
The road is unpaved but in July August is available with a normal car, of course there aren't rivers to cross. The road was closed until 15 days ago.
I didn't add photos and comments a few years ago and I cannot find a moment.
I'll try in future.
This hike is great with a wonderful view at end.
Hi, I had a look at his website: http://www.road.is/travel-info/road-conditions-and-weather/south-iceland-road-conditions-map/ and this road is indicated as open. We will see on the sport, thank you for your response
You can use Waze in Iceland. It's the interactive app of google and I'm sure it's the best system routing in Iceland...... I used my last 3 years to update the map and it's working fine. Daily I update also the closure.

We started the hike a bit before Þakgil. Beautiful mountains, but cloudy so we didn't see the glacier.
