Vikurskard Pass
About the place
Vikurskard Pass is a high mountain pass in northern Iceland that was historically part of the main Ring Road route. The pass provides dramatic views of Eyja Fjord and the town of Akureyri in the distance. Its steep ascent and unpredictable weather make it challenging, especially during winter. To ensure traveler safety, the Vadlaheidi Tunnel was built beneath the pass. Today, the old road remains popular for those seeking panoramic scenery away from main traffic.
