F208 is one of the most dangerous roads in Iceland but one of the most scenic drives in the country. In many places the road is bordered by a drop of hundreds of feet unprotected by guardrails. With very tough driving conditions with potholes, rocks, uneven terrain and even rivers to ford. This road through the Central Highlands is gravel, 64 miles long. Only accessible by 4x4 vehicles, it crosses several rivers, so it’s impassable after rains, and it has humbled many egos. The road is also in dreadful condition and requires strong nerves to negotiate it. It’s certainly breathtaking and it has a fearsome reputation. It still remains an adrenaline-pumping journey and is definitely not for the faint of lungs, heart, or legs. Words can’t describe the road and pictures don’t do it justice.
