The ascent from Skálabotnur is quite steep, and it is strenuous to come up to the plain. A large plain with bedrock, ponds and bogs stretches all the way from the path through the crags called Ennistígar to the pass Millum Fjalla. It is peaceful to walk among all the birds that live here. At Selatrað the terrain is grass-covered and good for walking. The view over this lovely village is unique, the marina, church, park and gardens with large trees defining the village.

The cairns are particularly big and fascinating between Skálabotnur and Millum Fjalla.

It is not possible to hike from Skálabotnur up along the river Ennisá since fenced-off private plots of land are on both sides. It is recommended to walk up between the rivers Vakará and Skipá, where the old cattle grid was. Hike up south of the old water reservoir to the corner of the fence, where you can pass through an opening.

At Selatrað, the best route is to go from the mission hall up the old cattle trail on the northern bank of the river Mittúnsá until you reach a rock wall, where you go through an iron fence. From here, continue along the southern bank of Mittúnsá until you reach a fence where you need to find the best place to climb over it. Continue on the village path.
