Dynjandisheidi (Dynjandisheiði) drive
The gravel road between Bildudalur and Þingeyri is one of the most exciting and scenic drives in Iceland.
Take it slowly, stopping at the numerous viewpoints to soak up the rugged landscapes. Often inhospitable but never dull, the heath is characterized by small ponds and ice-scoured rocks left behind by the Ice Age glaciers when they began to retreat around 9,000 years ago.
At Hellisskard mountain pass the road is at its highest point, 468m.
