The route between Argir and Kirkjubø is the second route connecting Tórshavn and Kirkjubø. This is the less used of the two paths between Tórshavn and Kirkjubø, as the more common route starts in Havnadal. However, this path between Argir and Kirkjubø was still used in the past for things such as travelling from Kirkjubø to the hospital.  

A large part of this route consists of gravelly terrain, making it difficult to see the path. Therefore, we strongly recommend using the GPX file to ensure the track is found and followed. Along this route are cairns; however, it is not always easy to distinguish between the real and ‘fake’ cairns, which will lead you away from the original route.

This trip is beautiful and unique with its gravelly terrain, many cliffs, and almost moonlike nature. During this trip, you will walk by the gorgeous Porkerisvatn (Porkeri’s lake), where it is ideal to stop for a minute and enjoy nature. It is said that William Heinesen, a famous Faroese author and artist, found inspiration for some of his sketches walking in this area, Kirkjubøreyni. It is said that his troll drawings are inspired by this area.
