Kaldidalsvegur–Route 550
Iceland's Central Highlands are a tricky terrain reserved for experienced drivers, but most drivers could feel comfortable taking a drive on Kaldidalsvegur, also known as the Highlands for beginners. Take a drive along Route 550 and you'll get a taste of the valleys, massive rocks, rivers, and mountains that the Central Highlands have to offer. To get to this road, drive east out of Húsafell and turn right on Route 550. Driving south along Kaldidalsvegur will eventually bring you to a fork, where you can head east on Route 338 toward the Central Highlands (make sure you have the proper car for this trip) or hop on Route 52 to the west.
