The cairn path between Æðuvík and Nes takes about an hour to walk. The terrain is grass-covered and easy to walk, well-suited for those who find walking difficult.

The view to the south is toward the isle of Nólsoy and Tórshavn, and turning north you see Skálafjørður and Sundini, the strait between the isles of Streymoy and Eysturoy. The path is marked with cairns, but you must pay close attention to the path as there is quite a distance between the cairns at times. If one is unfamiliar with the path, a GPX-file might be of great help.

A table and benches are located where the path crosses the road to Eystnes, a great place to take a break and enjoy your packed lunch.

It is worthwhile to take the hike up to Vørðin (160 m) with its expansive views of the isles of Nólsoy, Sandoy and Streymoy, the fiords of Kaldbaksfjørður, Kollafjørður and Skálafjørður, and the strait between Eysturoy and Streymoy. The hike will add about half an hour to your walk.

The path can be taken in both directions and is well marked at both ends. Big signs show where the path starts and describe the walk in words and illustrations.

The path is marked with cairns but pay careful attention as there is quite a distance between the cairns in places. If one is unfamiliar with the path, a GPX-file might be helpful.
