The path from Hesteyri village up to the pass Hesteyrarskarð (270 m) is an old but easily visible road. From the pass to Stakkadalur the path lies in a little distance from the cairns that mark the way. When coming down to Stakkadalur, cross the river Stakkadalsós. The bottom of the river is mostly sand. After crossing the river, a path will lead you to the campsite at Látrar.
