The start takes place in Mikladal, by the large bend in Sevgrøv right outside the village where the shortcut runs up to Lítladal. The path is part of a 14.5km long route between Syðradal and Trøllanes, which usually takes 4.5 hours to walk. The route was much used because both Trøllanes and Mikladal are high surf areas, meaning that they were often not approachable via boat during long periods of time.

The path is decent and visible most of the route. The area in which the path is not visible is during the walk across Ritudal and Villingadal.  

It is stunning to hike up out of Mikladal as this gives you a fantastic view of the village below, Nestindar 788-meters above, and the eastward cliffs. On the other side of the fjord, you will see the island of Kunoy, which is known for having several high and steep mountains. When you look down at the bedrock below the village, you will vaguely see the statue of Kópakona (selkie lady).

It will feel like a quick and easy walk south towards Ritudal. Once in Ritudal, you will walk down the valley along the bendy shortcut; the visibility of the path makes it apparent how much the track has been used. 

Down in the valley by the large hill is an old-money hole with a sign saying, 'Good cause'. It is said that back in the day, those who walked past with loose change would toss it into the hole. However, it is unclear who distributed the money, who donated and who emptied the hole. 

Out of Ritudal, you will walk south through Bustin to Villingadal and further south around the valley, south in Lundurðarnar. There you can see two paths in Lundurðurnar. Take care that you take the upper path to arrive at Lunnarsgjógv, the mark between Mikladal and Húsar. 
With a beautiful view up towards honourable Hattardalstind, standing at 644-meters, you walk the last stretch from Lunnarsgjógv south into Hattardal, where the path merges onto the main road.
