Can anyone who has been there tell me, if I drive clockwise around the island starting from Akureyri and entering Vatnsnes (Rhino Rock), is it a shortcut to turn from road 716 to road 711 on the map? Is road 716 a rough ride for small 4WDs? How difficult is the entire journey on road 711 ?

716 and 711 are similar. They are gravel roads that normal cars can also drive on, but you need to drive slowly. The road is relatively narrow, but there will be a meeting point marked with "M" every few hundred meters. When you see an oncoming vehicle, you should give way in advance.
