About

The forgotten road to Askja. Not on most maps.

For people who think F88 and F910 are too crowded.

Old route west of Dyngjufjöll mountains. Most people don't know it exists.

Needs high clearance for lava fields. Being forgotten is the feature, not bug.

Frequently
asked
questions

Can I drive F843 in a 2WD car?
No. F843 legally requires 4WD, like every F-road in Iceland. Driving it in a 2WD car is illegal and voids your rental insurance if anything goes wrong.
When does F843 open?
Most highland F-roads open mid-June to early July and close by September or October. Check road.is before you drive.
How do I get to F843?
F843 (Dyngjufjöll) is located in North Iceland. 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 F843?
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.
