Kjaransbraut, the most beautiful road in Iceland?
There is no road in Iceland as rugged as Kjaransbraut. The 50 km / 30 mi long road lies between Þingeyri in Dýrafjörður and Hrafnseyri in Arnarfjörðu. It is named after Elís Kjaran Friðfinnsson from Dýrafjörður, who laid part of the road alone and unsupported in the summer of 1973. He also completed the most devastating road section from Dýrafjörður to Lokinhamrar in Arnarfjörður, and thus finished the West Fjords ring road. The road with road number 622 does not just lie by steep cliffs. It partly lies on the beach of Arnarfjörður and is exposed to tides. The road is unpaved, single-lane and only passable for jeeps, in summer and until autumn.
