Iceland's Highlands, covering about 40% of the country, are accessible only in summer via unpaved F-roads, which legally require a 4x4 vehicle. Tourists rent 4x4 motorhomes to explore this region, as standard camper vans are not permitted on these tracks. Key routes include the F35 (Kjölur) and the more challenging F26 (Sprengisandur), leading to destinations like Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk.
