Svalvogavegur / Road 622 - Westfjords Iceland

The scariest road in Iceland may be Svalvogavegur road, along the coast between Dýrafjörður and Arnarfjörður fjords in the West Fjords, according to Morgunblaðið 's reporter Sigurður Bogi Sævarsson . It is a 50-km (31-mi) stretch, difficult to drive and so narrow, that it’s only a little more than a car’s width. Going there, you’d better not be afraid of heights. From a distance, it looks just like a scratch in the mountain slope. Above and below, a precipitous mountain; an 80-m (260-ft) drop from the edge of the road to the ocean.
