The Kaldidalsvegur is the shortest of the highland tracks traversing the Highlands of Iceland, therefore the nickname "highlands for beginners" . Its name derives from the valley it crosses: ''kaldidalur'' means "cold dale/valley". Sometimes the Kaldidalsvegur is referred to as simply "the Kaldidalur". The route begins a bit to the north of Þingvellir and to the west of the volcano Skjaldbreiður, which really comes up to its name (meaning ''broad shield''). The track continues between the glaciers Þórisjökull and Ok and leads up to the north. To the east of Reykholt it comes near the ''Reykholtsdalur'' to Húsafell. Then it continues up to ''Hvammstangi'' at the ''Miðfjörður''. Signed as route 550, the track is 40 kilometers long, and has no unbridged river crossings. (The Kaldidalsvegur is ''not'' an F road, and a four-wheel-drive vehicle is ''not'' legally required to traverse it, however many car rental companies forbid the use of their two-wheel-drive vehicles on this interior route.) The other well known highland routes are Kjölur and Sprengisandur. == External links == *(Photos ) *( Photos ) *(description, engl. ) *(Current condition of Icelandic roads ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaldidalsvegur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
