You will experience the wild nature of the Shetland Islands up close. The narrow road on which you drive winds through the rough hills. Sometimes you can let your eyes wander far beyond the unique landscape. It goes back and forth, but this experience, to drive through the untouched nature and to meet almost no human soul is simply worth it.
