Please note that there is no supermarket in this area. There’s just a small convenience store that doubles as a restaurant and a petrol station. It’s located in Freysnes (opposite of Hotel Skaftafell).

Since there are not many shopping options in the area, it might be a good idea to stop somewhere along the way to buy some groceries. There are grocery stores in all the small towns in the south. Also in Höfn if you’ll be coming from the east.

The easiest option would be the restaurant/shop in Freysnes (opposite of Hotel Skaftafell).
