The village is encircled by high mountains on three sides.
History
[edit]Hattarvik was founded in 900. The stone church was built in 1899. Some old stone houses are currently being restored. These houses are said to relate to the Flokksmenn. These were three strong men who wanted to seize power in the Faroe Islands in the 15th century.

[edit]The population estimates range from 5 to 44. There were 4 people in the village as of 2020.[1]
