The village path between Oyndarfjørður and Hellurnar is well marked, although there is no indication where the path starts at the main road. 

In Oyndarfjørður the path starts in the area á Høvdanum, where the new path begins down by the beach, about 800 metres before you reach the village cattle grid. Signposts are set in the grass to show where the path bridge crosses the river Laksá.

From here, two paths lead to Hellurnar. One goes along the seashore while the older path, which is noted on a map of the Faroe Islands from 1900 goes a little bit further in from the seashore.

The path over the bedrock by the seashore is the more scenic of the two. This path was worn well when ships arrived to unload fish. People came to receive the fish and laid it out on the bedrock to dry. This is probably why the place is called Hellurnar. The old landing quay can still be seen. The old handrails have been recently replaced (in 2019) and new handrails are installed to make the path safer.

At Hellurnar, the old path starts just inside the graveyard while the seashore path begins after you have passed the bedrock between Rættarvegur 8 and 12. Both paths are marked with posts that are visible from the main road.

The hike can be taken in either direction.
