I'm looking into going to Iceland this year. I want to do some hiking but also have the opportunity to see the aurora borealis, while I'm there.
Thus I've decided that April and May could be a good time.
I'm an experienced hiker and climber.
But I know the culture in Iceland is serious about preservation and as such alot of the F roads which require 4x4s to access the hikes are closed till June. Which I don't intend to breach (for clarity).
So I wonder how much good hiking can be accessed via main roads or villages on main roads.
Ideally day hikes so the family won't miss me too long.
Thanks in advance
