Stöðvará River

Stöðvará River is a river or watercourse in the Eastfjords and an important part of the regional landscape. Icelandic rivers are shaped by rainfall, snowmelt and, in many areas, glaciers, so water levels and conditions can change considerably with season and weather. Nearby places include Stöðvarfjörður and Petra’s Stone Collection . Take care around riverbanks and gorges, especially during snowmelt or heavy rain when water levels may rise quickly.

The place can form part of a wider trip through East Iceland, combining naturally with other landscape, heritage and travel experiences depending on interests and season.
