Mountain biking
Quite demanding for gravel bikes, but doable. The river crossings should be approached with care, some are a little deeper than expected and wet feet are not necessary. Watch out for motorcycles and off-road vehicles, the route is also very popular with them.

Mountain biking
– A stunning, narrow, unpaved road that runs along sea cliffs in Iceland's West Fjords. Carved into the rock and with very exposed sections, it offers spectacular views of the ocean and mountains, but requires a 4x4 vehicle and driving experience. It's only passable in summer and in good weather: a challenge for adventurers and lovers of extreme routes.
