Ein lagaligur túrur gjøgnum vøkru og sløttu náttúruna í Vágum, har gingið verður eftir Sundsgøtuni gjøgnum Kvígandal, tvørtur um Kvígandalsá og Sjatlá vestur til Sørvágs, við góðum útsýni

Bygdagøtan byrjar á Oyrargjógv, har ein tekur seg beint niðan í líðina og haðan eftir Sundsgøtuni vestur til Sørvágs. 

 

Varðar eru allan vegin, so gøtan er løtt at fylgja. Tá ið tungi teinurin niðan frá Oyrargjógv er undantikin, er rættiliga slætt og lætt at ganga túrin. Á vegnum ganga vit tvørtur um onkrar áir, t.d. Kvígandalsá og Sjatlá, men tær eru lættar at koma tvørtur um. 

 

Søgnin sigur, at tað var eystan fyri Fjallavatn, at huldukonan í Húsagjógv tók at renna eftir seyðamanninum á Sondum, tí hann hevði tikið stakkin frá henni. Huldukonan rann aftan á honum til Vatnsoyrar og haðan niðan Vatnsbrekkuna og líka til Sandavágs. Huldukonan fekk seyðamannin aftur, men hann fekk tveitt seg inn um kirkjugarðin í Sandavági og fekk ermuna við sær. Erman sigst vera messuakul í kirkjuni.

 

Tað er møguligt at ganga túrin úr báðum endum.
