Itinerary description

Arnarvatnsheidi (literally: Eagle's Lake Heath) used to be a common route to take when traveling on horse between the southwest and north of Iceland. This is a 4x4 track, mostly because there are quite large boulders that stick out of the road surface that would damage smaller cars. There are no river fords to pass on this main track. Actually there are several tracks that divert from this main track but in many cases you must pass fords in the rivers.
Do not expect to drive faster than 15-20 km/hour most of the track.
Arnarvatn is the largest lake but there is a myriad of lakes of all sizes around this track
