Beware, there are medium-to-big river crossings, very rough terrain requiring high ground clearance (Land Cruiser minimum), and any help will be very far away in each direction.

If you are interested in specific details about each river crossing on F208 South, reach out for our Day 3 journey blog post.

Its function is to coordinate measures and find solutions in collaboration with government administrations, municipalities, the support framework for this sector throughout the country, the sector itself and other interested parties.

F232, or Öldufell, or Öldufellsleið is the legendary road depicted in all of these pictures where you see a car driving virtually over the waterfall.

F959 or Viðfjarðarvegur is an F-road quietly hidden in Eastfjords leading to very remote Viðfjörður fjord.

It doesn’t have any unbridged rivers, but the section beginning from the F338 route is very bumpy, filled with potholes and big rocks on the road. It’s quite a fun alternative to the other options and shouldn’t be a problem to get through during the summer months.

Drive this part slowly and carefully, as it’s wide enough only for one car – having a cliff on the left and a steep drop down on the right. Long story short, If you are a river crossing beginner and if you want to take the more scenic route, then F905 is a better choice.
