Travel Routes

The Highland Circle is a scenic travel route in East Iceland that forms a circular journey from Egilsstaðir, leading travelers through peaceful woodlands, fertile valleys and the remote Icelandic highlands. Along the route, visitors experience the remarkable diversity of East Iceland, where the landscape constantly changes from forests and rivers to mountains, waterfalls and breathtaking highland views.

The Fjord Way invites travelers on a journey through the peaceful fjords of East Iceland, where winding coastal roads connect dramatic landscapes, charming seaside villages, and some of the region’s most beautiful natural attractions. Away from the main routes, visitors can experience fresh ocean air, ever changing scenery, and a landscape shaped by both powerful geological forces and centuries of life closely connected to the sea.
