Historia y Antecedentes
Krosshöfði by Stapavík was once a licensed trading place and remained in use into the 20th century. Remains from that period are still visible, adding a historical layer to a hike that is otherwise defined by the exposed coastal landscape.
Stapavík is a distinctive cove inside Ósflug near Unaós in East Iceland, reached on a marked coastal hiking route. Steep cliffs surround the bay, while stacks, skerries and rock shelves shape the shoreline. Stapavíkurlækur drops over a rock ledge in a small waterfall before reaching the cove.\n\nThe area also has a trading history. Krosshöfði was once a licensed trading place, and remains from that period can still be seen in the area. Innri-Stapavík is not a separate visitor destination; it is part of the same Stapavík landscape and has therefore been consolidated into this canonical hiking attraction. Its photographs have been preserved in the gallery.
