The journey that I will remember for a lifetime is a road trip through the land of ice and fire. I am writing these lines, and I see pictures of vast expanses and alien landscapes of Iceland in front of my eyes. And that feeling of being a child of nature comes again. 

It is in Iceland that you feel the energy power of the Earth, because there are more than a hundred volcanoes, and many of them are active.

The best and the easiest way to see the island is to take a road trip along The Ring Road, where flocks of shaggy sheep and galloping wild horses meet on the way. By the way, for more than a thousand years, horses of only one breed have been living in Iceland. It is simply forbidden to import horses of other breeds into the country.

But I wanted to see the uninhabited and less touristy places in Iceland.Therefore, we decided to replace most of the Ring Road trip with an inland trip to the Highlands Icelandic plateau.

This blog post is an alternative travel guide to Iceland that will help you to design your off the beaten path road trip.

I reveal all the secrets in this article.
