| Driving |
| Starting in Reykjavík, it
takes you about 30 min to reach Hveragerði,
which is famous for its greenhouse agriculture. After 45 minutes
on the road you reach the town Selfoss
(57 km), on the banks of Ölfursá (á = river). Along the same
highway 1 you will drive through several small town, Hella
(94 km) and Hvolfsvöllur (106 km), Vík
í Mýrdal (187 km), Kirkubæjarklaustur
(258 km) and Höfn í Hornarfirði (459
km). By then you will have been on the road for ~8hrs straight.
On the way there are many beautiful places to see, and below I show
you a few. |
