The King's Road leads you from Itilleq to Igaliku. The road is named after King Frederik IX, who visited the settlement in 1952.
The road itself is a gravel road. Having your luggage picked up from Itilleq and brought to Igaliku by a tractor is possible. The view from the road is amazing, with farmer's fields on both sides.
