Signabøur – Kaldbak
Let the alluring cairns guide you on this challenging hike. Above Kaldbak you can enjoy the picturesque view of valley with many small lakes and pools
When hiking up the hill from Signabøur, you are rewarded with an impressive view over Kollafjørður and into the valley Kollfjarðadalur.
Reaching the pass Kambsskarð, everything turns quiet on the nice walk through the pass with its many beautiful cairns. Having crossed the pass, you can enjoy a view down into the big and lovely valley above Kaldbak with its many small lakes and pools, including Stóravatn and Brúnavatn. The stretch through the valley is relatively long but several gullies make it a fascinating walk. The rivers are easily forded.
It is safer to walk from Signabøur to Kaldbak than going the other direction, as it is easier to see how to walk up through the crags and ledges. There is also more traffic noise in Signabøur, making the quiet area near Kaldbak more enjoyable to walk in.
From Signabøur walk on the road past the barn and then go uphill in a westerly direction, climbing over one fence and through a gate before going at an angle southward toward the first cairn below the path that leads up through the first crag.
