About

A short, steep F-road on Snæfellsnes that pairs with F570 to make a highland loop without leaving the peninsula.

Narrow in sections with limited pull-offs — if you meet oncoming traffic, one vehicle reverses to a passing point.

Combined with F570, it forms a loop that gives a highland-style drive without needing to head into the interior — useful if Snæfellsnes is the only region on your route.

No river crossings are noted, so the challenge here is the steep, narrow track itself rather than water. Drive to conditions, especially around blind corners where you can't see oncoming traffic.

Frequently
asked
questions

What car do I need for F575?
Any 4x4. It's rated easy-to-medium, mainly for the steep, narrow track rather than water crossings.
Are there river crossings on F575?
None are noted on record. The narrow, steep sections are the main thing to watch for.
What does F575 connect to?
It connects with F570, forming a highland loop on the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
Is F575 a good first F-road?
It's rated easy-to-medium with no rivers on record, which makes it more approachable than most highland roads — but any 4x4 minimum still applies, not a 2WD car.
Can I drive F575 in a 2WD car?
No. It's an F-road; 2WD is illegal here regardless of the easier rating.
