Without any knowledge about this island we begun to plan our trip. Travel guides were rare and travel agencies knew only a few things. After combining those resources we managed to plan a 9 days trip.
Very little tourism, rare hotels (or schools)… it was a dream. The ring road had a hard surface only near towns.
Highlands: Due to thawing conditions all traffic is prohibited on some of the highland routes. Information about opening of the highland roads can be found here #IcelandRoads http://www.road.is/travel-info/condition-and-opening-of-mountain-roads/
Entire country: All the main roads are easily passable. Tel. 1777 (+354 522-1100 from abroad). #IcelandRoads
