Holiday in Iceland, June 2004: Links

• Dieter Graser's Website (in German)
  Hiking tours through central Iceland - this is absolutely impressing.
• Someone said "There is no weather in Iceland - just samples", and this is, generally speaking, true. If you're still interested in the weather forecast, here it is: Weather forecast
• Information about Road conditions is essential when travelling in Iceland, not only off-season, but also in mid-summer, some roads may be closed even for 4wd. So check it out before you go!
• Maps from Landmælinger Íslands helped us plan our trip and find our way during our stay.
• The lonely planet guide on Iceland is very useful as a reference on whatever place in Iceland you plan to got. The 4th edition of this classic guide is out now - and this time, the Greenland and Faroe Islands part has been put into another volume.
• Some useful information and links from the Usenet group soc.culture.nordic's FAQ (part on Iceland)
• For a first glimpse, have a look at this map: coarse map of Iceland
• a bit more detailed
• Aning A helpful brochure about accommodations in Iceland. It also lists camping grounds and swimmingpools.

• The "Bible" - contains helpful information not only about accommodation in Iceland, but also on restaurants, sights and other important information. The detailed maps of almost every town and village in Iceland proved very helpful. We recommend not to download the brochure because of its size (208 pages), but to get it the first day in Iceland - every tourist information office should have it. Around Iceland
  or in German Rund um Island

• Brochure from the Icelandic Farm Holiday Association. Unfortunately, the German version doesn't contain phone numbers. So when you order, don't forget to ask for the Icelandic version, too - it contains phone numbers. Icelandic Farm Holidays

• Free map of Iceland including Reykjavík and Akureyri city maps. For me, this one is the best free map available. You can order it here Big map or pick it up at all Esso stations and many tourist information offices

• Youth hostels are also affordable in Iceland, so see this page for further information on the 20 hostels to choose from. Youth Hostels

• There are many Iceland homepages in the web and tons of photos, but there are some that are just stunning! Here is one of them: Henning Conrad's photo gallery
