Enjoy the coastal path to the impressive Stone Bridge

Stone Bridge near Arnarstapi is a natural rock formation created by the erosive power of the Atlantic over thousands of years. The arch spans the rugged coastline and offers a direct view of the waves crashing against the basalt rocks. Along the path to the stone bridge, lava formations and steep cliffs dominate the landscape. Seabirds such as razorbills, shags and gulls nest here, their calls shaping the coastal atmosphere. The geological structure of the surroundings is influenced by the nearby volcano Snæfellsjökull.

The stone bridge is reachable via a well-maintained coastal path from Arnarstapi. The trail runs along the cliffs and is well marked, but sure-footedness is required as the coastline is unfenced. Parking is available directly in the village of Arnarstapi. From there the stone bridge can be reached on foot in just a few minutes. The path is ideal for a short walk or as part of the longer coastal hike to Hellnar. Other rock formations such as Gatklettur are in the immediate vicinity and can be included in the same visit.
