The Westfjords (VestfirÃ°ir). This is a beautiful area to cycle, if you get the weather to appreciate it. It is hillier than most other parts of Iceland, with plenty of road-passes where you cross between fjords, and these are generally at about 500m to 600m, and some are steep and unpaved.In poor weather, the passes are not much fun at all.he road now becomes a bit rougher, though still easily rideable, as it gradually climbs up through lavafields to about 1200m, which probably makes it the highest road in Iceland. About 12km from Gaesavoetn gÃ¦savÃ¶tn it comes to a small glacial outwash zone just 500m from the face Of. vatnajoekull vatnajÃ¶kull
