The view from just below the top stairs under the mountain Leirvíksfjall. Here we look south over Gøtuvík Bay, where we have Mjóvanes at the very end. The special thing about this village path is that there are so many stacked stairs and iron railings. A bit challenging... Photo: Óli Gardshodn -

Gongutúrurin upp um Leirvíksfjall er ein aldagamal og vakur túrur við útsýni norður í Djúpini, út á Gøtuvík ella suður í hav
Túrurin er rímiliga lættur og tekur umleið ein tíma. Varðar vísa vegin, og trappur og rimaverk eru sett upp við hamrarnar, har brattast er at ganga. Á seinasta teininum oman í Norðragøtu eru prestar við endurskini settir.
Fleiri áhugaverd og søgulig støð eru á leiðini. Uppi yvir fótbóltsvøllinum í Leirvík er vælhildna torvhúsið hjá Petur Kristiani Jacobsen (í Gerðismørk), sum sigur søguna um knossið hjá forfedrunum, sum gingu her í gomlum døgum.
Longri uppi verður gingið fram við Moyggjarhellinum, har tað sigst, at ungar gentur fjaldu seg, tá ið sjórænarar herjaðu her um leiðir.
Ein kikari er settur upp á Leirvíksfjalli – tætt við bygdagøtuna. Haðan ber til at njóta útsýnið norður í Djúpini, út á Gøtuvík ella suður í hav. Kikarin verður tikin niður um veturin, men væl ber til at ganga túrin alt árið, bara veðrið er til vildar.
Gøtan kann verða gingin báðar vegir, so veðurforsøgn og flutningsmøguleikar kunnu avgera tað.
