Together we ventured on an extraordinary bikepacking trip: the 1600 km long Ringroad in Iceland. The 19-day journey not only promised breathtaking landscapes, but also unpredictable challenges that pushed us to our limits and at the same time rewarded us with the highlights of this fascinating island.
The route and road conditions:
The Ringroad in Iceland offers varied road conditions, from well-maintained asphalt roads to challenging gravel. The mix of both surfaces required suitable equipment and careful planning.
Weather conditions:
The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable even in summer. During our trip we were faced with unpredictable rain showers and near-freezing temperatures. The strong winds along the coast presented a particular challenge.
The entire route is compiled in a collection on Komoot. You can also find the individual stages of the tour on Strava!
