Langasandur - Saksun
![hike poster](https://vfibackend.com/uploads/785_large.jpg)
A nice and peaceful hike, the stretch down to Saksun being particularly beautiful
It is recommended to park by the sheep pen in Langasandur, where the road Rættargøta ends. From there, walk through the sheep pen and continue about 60 metres to an opening in the fence, which takes you to the outfields. Continue straight up the hill until you reach the path. Since the path is not visible from Langasandur, the use of a GPS is recommended.
There is no visible path from Saksun toward Langasandur either, since only a few people take this hike. Four cairns are along the path, all on the last stretch from Langasandur up toward Knúkur, from an elevation of 373 metres up to 505 metres.
There is a big parking lot in Saksun just north of the bridge crossing the lake Saksunarvatn.
The hike can be taken in either direction, weather and mode of transportation deciding which direction is preferable. The hike to Saksun is more beautiful.
