From the Ring Road (1) the road heads north-east through Árnessýsla forming the primary route to the tourist hotspots of Geysir and Gullfoss. Along the way the road meets several other routes, such as Þingvallavegur (36), Laugarvatnsvegur (37) with distinctive peninsulas and Skálholt Way (31) and Hrunamannavegur (30).

Near the road are a number of attractions. These include volcanic crater lake Kerið, waterfall Faxi in Tungufljóti and of course, Geysir and Gullfoss.

The road crosses the Alviðra. The original bridge was built in 1905 and was its major improvement for the transport in its time. The current bridge was built in 1983.

Biskupstungnabraut runs for 69 km from the Suðurlandsvegur up to Gullfoss.

Kjalvegur takes over from Gullfoss with the number F35 (previously F37). North of Gullfoss, there is a river crossing where traffic must ford over the river.
