Tranquillity, while we walk up through this nice valley in Gjómunum, just south of the mountain Skálafjall. Photo: Óli Gardshodn -
From the pass Høgukinnaskarð by Skálafjall up to the pass Oyrarskarð you walk through a special landscape. The stones have a special shape, and the colour is kind of brown. Photo: Óli Gardshodn -
Brown and special - but very good to sit on and enjoy a cup of coffee - 350m east of the pass Oyrarskarð. Photo: Óli Gardshodn -

On the beautiful and scenic path down to the village of Oyri, here with the view from Sandfelsbrekkan, down over the place Ræðslan where we can see the special rock in the sill Eysturoyarsyllin in 200m. height. We will walk through this sill on our way down to Oyri. Photo: Óli Gardshodn
Ein áhugaverdur túrur eftir Eysturoyarsyllini við vøkrum útsýni og spennandi gróti
Bygdagøtan millum Skálabotn og Oyri er spennandi, friðarlig og hugnalig at ganga. Kanska ein undirmettur túrur. Her sært tú rátt grótlendi, grótbóltar og Eysturoyarsyllina og hevur gott útsýni yvir á allar tindarnar eysturoyar- og streymoyarmegin.
Í Skálabotni er lætt at ganga eftir gøtuni. Frá rættini norðan fyri Kelduna verður gingið eftir stóru brúnni tvørtur um ánna, og haðani kanst tú fylgja prestunum við gulum toppi (GG: summir teirra kunnu liggja niðri).
Tá ið komið verður niðan í 350 m hædd skálafjarðarmegin, ber til at fylgja gomlu varðunum, ið týðiliga vísa røttu leiðina allan vegin til Oyrar.
Á Oyri verður gingið niðan gjøgnum Tungugøtu til fyrsta svingið. Síðani gongur leiðin tætt niðan við ánni, beint eftir svingið og út gjøgnum portrið, har fyrsti presturin er at síggja. Fyrsti varðin á Oyri sæst frá portrinum, og prestar leiða teg niðan hagar.
Gøtan sæst næstan ongastaðni, so her er at fylgja prestunum og varðunum allan vegin.
Gøtan kann gangast báðar vegir, so veðurforsøgn og transport møguleikar kunnu avgera hetta.

- Very good for walking throughout, although quite a long hike
Grass-covered and good for walking throughout. On the way down to Oyri, it is nice and fascinating to walk between all the large rocks that lie up the mountainside on Sandfelli.
