The five permanent residents are all elderly men over 60 Hattarvík is therefore threatened by concrete depopulation.

The present village church dates from the year 1899.
Travel and Tourism
Once or twice a day wrong here if necessary ( and if the weather allows it) the Masin ferry to Hvannasund. The helicopter from Atlantic Airways flies three times a week at the place and connects it as, inter alia, with Klaksvík and Tórshavn. Hattarvík is connected by a small road to the second place on the island, Kirkja in the south.
Parallel to it, a hiking trail on the southeast coast. Just north, the mountain Klubbin (620 m), which is relatively easy to climb despite a lack of path, and from where you have a good view of Viðoy with his mighty cape Enniberg. East of the village takes you to the free-standing cliff Stapin that forms the easternmost point of the Faroe Islands.
Regular Overnight accommodations are available in Hattarvík not just a holiday home in the neighboring Kirkja. Anyone planning a stay that goes beyond the day trip, should inquire in Klaksvík the Northern Islands Tourist Office before his departure.
