Gorgeous isolated road from Hvalfjörður

Up up up we climbed a steep hill on the gravel road #520 from Hvalfjörður. Hval = whale = baleine. Bicycles are not allowed in the tunnel that cuts across this bay. No matter. The road around is much more enjoyable than trying to share the crowded highway #1 with hurried drivers. After the steep hill, we descended into a jewel of a valley. Farther on, we found a lovely camping spot near some hot springs at the side of the road. There was not another soul in sight.
