Stapavík is an inlet once used as a harbour. From the farm Unaós, which is the most eastern point in Hjaltastaðaþinghá, there is a beautiful trail along the river Selfljót and down to the sea. Along the way you will pass the ruins of a hut for 15th-century fishermen and of a shelter for pasturing sheep. More ruins await above the banks at the mouth of the river, where an official trading harbour was located from 1920 and onwards.
Finnur, a three years old Icelandic boy, loves geocaching and wanted to hide a treasure in Stapavík. He went hiking on a sunny day along with his family. The walk was a little too long for small legs so he hid it close to the trail to Stapavík and decided to go play on the nice beach nearby before hiking back to the car.
The hike to Stapavík is about 4.5 km along a marked trail from the parking spot close to Unaós. The cache is located close to the trail, about 4 km along the way.
