The path starts midway through the valley Saksunardalur, where you cross the lovely river, Klovsá, where the remains of an old bridge are found. From there, continue under Mt. Ørvisfelli, the second highest mountain on Streymoy and cross the pass Oksagilshálsur. Having crossed the pass, hike down the hill called Skammbrekkan and ford the river Fossá, where you will see two hydropower dams below you. The rest of the hike is a long but easy walk southward on the road known as Saksunarvegurin, which you find west of the upper hydropower dam, known as Frammi á vatni. Continue along the hill Leiti and down toward the river Gjógvará. Follow the river on its western bank to the water reservoir in Vestmanna.

The first ascent from Saksunardalur is a little strenuous, but otherwise it is an easy hike through the wide and narrow pastures north of Vestmanna. The path is far from any major roads and few take it, making for a very tranquil hike.

The views in the upper reaches of the hill Oksagilsbrekka down toward Saksunardalur and south toward the strait between Streymoy and Eysturoy is particularly beautiful.

From here you can also see the peaks of many mountains on Eysturoy and on the Northern Isles. The views westward from the crag Rossastígar of the spit Slættanestangi and the sea cliffs Vágabjørgini is also very beautiful.

It is necessary to bring the GPX-file with you in case it becomes foggy as part of the path is not well marked.
