3.4 Kilometer one lane tunnel leading to Olafjordur. Pretty interesting since the people heading from Akureyri to Olafsfjordur had to pull aside in the special areas marked 'M' every ~0.2 km (see photo below). So on our way into town we pulled over every time we saw headlights. When you are heading to Akureyri from Olafjordur then you have right of way and do not have to stop.
