    A challenging track at certain sections but mainly moderate through stunning nature. Highlight is the path at the edge of the lake. The water is not deep but you need to drive closely near the land.

    This is a home made road in Selárdalur close to Steingrímsfjörður. You need a big-altered jeep to get there in winter time. But it's a easy drive in the summertime. Max speed about 35 km. in the summer time.
