About

Final stretch to Landmannalaugar. Two rivers guard the campsite.

So close you can taste it. Then two rivers say 'prove yourself.'

You can park before the rivers and walk. Many do. The rivers catch people off guard after rain.

Frequently
asked
questions

What car do I need for F224?
The minimum vehicle for F224 is "medium 4x4". A proper 4WD like the Dacia Duster or Suzuki Vitara covers "any 4x4" roads; pick something larger for "medium 4x4" routes. The rental section below has live prices — the code MAP gives 12% off.
Can I drive F224 in a 2WD car?

How do I get to F224?
F224 (Landmannalaugavegur) is located in South Coast. Check live road status on road.is before you drive — F-roads close without warning after rain or early snow.
Is river-crossing damage covered by rental insurance on F224?
No. River-crossing damage is excluded from every rental insurance policy in Iceland, even full-coverage plans. Cross only where locals or rangers confirm it’s safe.
