View from Áin á Fjøllum over Fjallavatn. Upwards through Mýrabotn, the cairns are low and can therefor be at bit difficult to see. Photo: Óli Gardshodn
Along the path there are some cosy places where you just enjoy the moment with a cup of coffe. This is when crossing th river of Áin á Fjøllum. Photo: Óli Gardshodn

The hike begins on the path Slættanesgøtan in Sørvágur, goes through the wide and scenic area by Fjallavatn, and continues north to Slættanes

The path starts by the water reservoir in the valley of Húsadalur in Sørvágur. Ascend northward on the path called Slættanesgøtan toward the lake Fjallavatn, ford the river Tunguá, and continue up to the narrow bog named Mýrubotnur. From there, hike north around the ridge just north of Mt. Tungufelli and continue north through the pastures of Slættaneshagi to Slættanes.

The hike can be taken in either direction. As there is no road to Slættanes, where you start depends on how you access the path, by boat or on foot.
