From Kambsdalur the path begins on the road Børkugøta. A sign marks the beginning newly erected cairns lead the way.

First, you walk by the old peat strip belonging to Fuglafjørður. On Skarðsbrúgv, you arrive at a gorge. Walk towards the edge of the gorge where there is a passage up to Skarðsbrúgv. There, you will see the first cairn. You will have an excellent view over Fuglafjørður and the surrounding mountains. 

To the north, there is also a view towards Kalsoy with the spiky Nestindur, with its 788 metres, towering skywards, and Kunoy with its distinctive, huge notch in the otherwise solid wall of rock. To the east Ritafjall (also called Leirvíksfjall) and if you gaze down you see an old road. This is the first road to Leirvík.

You now come to Trælavatn where there is a large colony of Herring Gulls in the summer. There are also Oystercatchers, Geese and other birds. You must keep to the north side of the lake where you come in on the old path. The path is level, but the terrain is uneven and rocky. There are some cairns showing land boundaries in the outfield approximately 100 metres south of the trail. Be careful not to go the wrong way!

When you see the long fjord south towards Toftavatn with Nólsoy in the background, the village cairn path slowly turns to the right. On the other side of the fjord, you have the beautiful Reyðafelstindur in front of you. Be careful when you go down through Rossastígar, as it is steep in some places. It can be difficult to spot the cairns. The cairns are further down on the plain. Walk towards them.

The best place to walk along the river down to Tundradalur is on the south side (left side).

Legend has it that once upon a time there were four men from Hattarvík on Fugloy called Floksmenninir who wanted to conquer all the Faroe Islands. They were captured and sentenced to be thrown off the steepest area by Valaknúkar. Their sentence was carried out and they were buried at Tingsteinur under Valaknúkar. Walk down on the main road near the petrol station. If you want to go further, you can continue from Skálabotnur to Selatrað. It takes about three and a half hours more.
