The village path between Hvalvík and Leynar is a wonderful and tranquil path. The long walk in the peaceful environment, where only a few birds break the silence, is balm to the soul. The hike up through the gorge to the pass Húsadalsskarð is challenging and a bit of an adventure. Having ascended the steep hill and reaching the pass, you enter a magnificent wide valley through which the path meanders.

As you approach Leynar, you come to a big, wide and beautiful river, Dalá. Lovely columnar basalt is found just above the gully Djúpagil.

If you start to walk in Hvalvík follow the new path by the Mission House in Hvalvík. Walk out through the village gate and up along the little house (hay barn). Continue up along the river Myllá until you surpass the upper stone wall. Then turn slightly left in a straight south direction and go diagonally uphill to the first cairn at an altitude of 145 metres.

The path can be taken in either direction, weather and transportation options deciding which one to taske. The hike from Hvalvík is perhaps more scenic.
