Road trip through Iceland: Westfjords, Highlands,
12. 7. - 3. 8. 2025 (23 day trip)
Iceland
I'm flying week 29 to week 31 for about two weeks. So I'll book the cheapest flights, usually the night flights on Tuesday or Thursday. I usually fly with Lufthansa. I need a suitcase for my toys, and with luggage, Lufthansa is the cheapest. I have a Duster car. The plan is to spend the first two days in Reykjavik at the KEX or Dúlvík Hostel and then, depending on the weather and the volcano, either head north via the Westfjords or Thorsmörk to Landmanalaugar and continue towards the south coast to Vik and then on to Egilstadir. There, I'll spend a few days in Thehusit and then continue north. An alternative route, if all else fails, is to take the Golden Circle north on the high-voltage highway over Nyfoss to the F27 and from there north. Then turn right towards Askia and Vatnajökulsárló. Then either east over the reservoir to Egilstadir and further along the northern east coast, or directly north towards Akurery or Husavik and the waterfalls. The fjords towards Flaty. These are incredibly beautiful bays, and I've seen arctic foxes there many times. Unfortunately, Akurery is very expensive. I like to stay at the hostel in Bordernes when I'm traveling in the north or at the Freezer when I'm in the east.
