Itinerary description

Start at field track close to old hering factory. After a short while a sticked foot path diverges to the left upwards the hillside. The ascent takes about 30 min. On top turn to left and follow the sticks along the edge. You have to cross a stream. Close to the waterfall you will find enough stones to jump over the stream.
At the waypoint you have the best view over the fjord. The path descends now to the road. On the road it takes about 20 min back to Djúpavík.
