Explore the vastness. Wheels were not commonly used for transport in rural Iceland until the middle of the 20th century. Until then people walked, rowed in small boats or rode horses. There are known paths trodden by generations of soft sheep-skin shoes, over mountains and along shores. The shortest routes between valleys were often marked with cairns so that the postman or the doctor wouldn‘t get lost in a fog or a blizzard. These routes are now being revived for  the benefit of the traveller. There is a right of way everywhere in Iceland outside fields and gardens. There are therefore endless possible walking routes, especially in the remote areas of the Westfjords. There are also old roads over magnificient mountain passes that are no longer in use, perfect for walking or mountain biking.
