From Borgarnes we ride to Skorradalsvatn (lake) and over Dragháls to Hvalfjörður which was a part of F1, but now there is a undersea tunnel passing the fjord. Hvalfjörður translates to,,Whale-fjord,,because it was a common place to see whales in the early days. It is very beautiful and fun to ride, with a lot of turns.
