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.
