Super Tourikram and Gravel Track

Although we are not hardcore fans of the typical tourist program, we did let ourselves get a little carried away today.🤏

So we first headed to the hotspots along the Golden Circle to the east.

First, we got out of the capital and let the landscape overwhelm us. Always impressive.

First stop at the Kerið Crater, not bad. Especially for crater beginners.

We weren't that blown away by the next Strokkur, the largest and most active geyser in Iceland, but it's part of the program.

It definitely bubbles up in every corner there.♨️

A real highlight was then the Gullfoss. Spectacular to see the water masses thundering down.

You have to see it, even if some fellow tourists might say so too...

But it was still manageable.🙏

A wonderful experience.🥰

After we had enjoyed some muesli snails at the Faxi waterfall, we continued the remaining 300km straight up north.⬆️

The landscape changes almost at every turn, and the roads become adventurous outside the tourist paths.💪

And our Jimny feels at home on the gravel tracks.🪨🪨

After nearly 500km of travel, we arrived at the picturesque Miðfjörður.🏞

Our cottage is right by the shore, a little outside the town of Hvammstangi.

With only 625 residents, it's very manageable🏕, but there's a delicious restaurant right by the ford (like almost everything here).

With a view of the sun setting behind the fjord, we conclude this wonderful day.

What amazing impressions, what a great Jimny (Dini drove too), and what a beautiful spot of earth here by the fjord.

Tomorrow we head northeast towards Dalvik.

Stay tuned!
