Route 1 Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Completed in 1974, Highway 1 is about 830 miles (1,336 kilometers) long. The road is also known as the "ring road" because it forms a large circle that encircles the whole of Iceland. It is very popular with tourists who love to drive by themselves. Parts of this highway have only one single lane, and along the way, you will pass through many bays, deserts and the Atlantic coast. Self-driving drivers will experience the dual feeling of ice and fire. However, due to the old bridges along the highway and the lack of asphalt in some sections, it also adds a lot of difficulty to self-driving.

Route 1 is a must-go road to Iceland, basically grass-based along the way, the scenery is not special, but it is very interesting to see such a vibrant sight at the north end of the earth.
Both sides of Highway 1 are relatively deserted, and it is still a bit different from what we imagined. And Highway 1 is not wide, and there are fewer cars coming and going. We took the tour group car to take this road.
Route 1 is a must-take road in Iceland. The two sides of the road are not special, but sitting in the car and enjoying the scenery feels different. Basically, it covers many attractions in Iceland. It is very suitable for self-driving driving. It is super sensational.
Route 1, I thought it was a luxury road. In fact, it is just a two-way ordinary road, some places, two-way only one road, need comity. But this road, it feels particularly good for me to drive. First, its view is good, and the car can be seen a few kilometers away. Second, it is scattered, hillsides, flat connections, curved straight is probably designed reasonably, and it is very comfortable to drive. It is not like domestic, there are rest points, dining, toilets, and even accommodation on the road. The roadside generally cannot be stopped, and it must be suspended in a temporary parking place. When leaving Leishi, there are more central turntables, and it will be very cool to go straight. The attractions along the road will be a certain distance, most of them are not too far away. There is no charge on the road, and there is no charge for parking at the attractions. You can buy food in the small towns along the way, and there are free toilets. But we still have enough food and drink in the big supermarket in Leishi. Salmon, sausage, bread, soaked water, etc.
From Highway 1, everyone liked the outside, the tour guide simply stopped the car on the road, she said this is your trip. The road divides the sky in half, half colorful, and half silent. It''s my trip and also your trip.
All the trips in Iceland, almost all around Route 1, this 360-degree loop, encircling the whole of Iceland, there are no traffic lights, there are almost no vehicles to follow, and sometimes it is just so lonely to be rolling between the endless world. There may be many seconds of illusion, as if I feel like I am in a lonely alien planet. Along Highway 1, I will encounter Icelandic horses from time to time, one of the most pure horse breeds in the world, short legs, flowing hair, stupid look and handsome, Meek and friendly, but once taken abroad, you can never return home
A golden circle worth a visit! The oil price is more than RMB 11, including the high-speed toll to cross the bridge. In fact, there is no decent bridge. There are no signal lights, no street lights, and no trees along the way. This is Highway 1! The conditions are harsh and the scenery is beautiful!
Iceland Highway 1, the road through the ice and fire of paradise. Along Highway 1, all the way is a surprise. There are pure black gravel like walking on Mars. There are suddenly bright volcanic rock vegetation. There are icebergs that are shadowy in the distance, there are sudden thick fog wrapped in the mountains, and there are quiet blue and pink under the sunset prints on the sky. Finally, the color of the ember feels like the whole island is in love.
