Steep approach.

Well, Akureyri (BIAK) in Iceland is quite interresting too.

ILS Rwy 01 is 5.0 degrees and flown within reach of mountains on both sides, and the LOC is offset by 2.5 degrees.

The go-around is even more interesting:
Climb straight ahead to 2.0 DME IAL, Turn left to track 358 degrees from OE (L) to HL (L) and join HL/AJ (NDB) Holding. If unable to reach 6000 feet at HL continue on 358 degrees from HL and intercept AKI VOR Radial 344 outbound. Passing 5000 feet turn right direct AR NDB and join HL/AJ Hold at 6000 feet.

You can just imagine the chaos in a speedy plane with one ILS/DME, Three Locators/NDB and one VOR set up and with a hold alternating between two NDB's. Better be sure what you're doing if the **** hit's the fan.
