Before you drive
Local notes from the Færð og Veður team
Hellisheiði, the first stretch out of Reykjavík, is the highest part of this drive. When it closes, traffic is usually sent over Þrengsli (Route 39) instead, which can close in bad weather too.
From Hveragerði to Vík the road is low and close to the coast, but it is exposed to strong gusts — especially under Eyjafjöll, between Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and around Vík. Look at the gusts in the weather table below, not just the average wind: a campervan is affected long before a car.
