The hike commences by the large parking lot above the gorge Skálagjógv. Walk up along the beautiful river Tippisá, and when you reach the valley Uppi í Dal, continue up through the old peat fields, where you still can see the many old peat sheds.

To cross the high road, go under the left side of the bridge. Here you need to open a fence to cross it. Above the road, you will reach the fascinating gorge Fossagjógv. Here you can enjoy good views over Sundini (the strait between Eysturoy and Streymoy), the village of Streymnes, and the peaks above it. Continue up along the river Tippisá and across the pass Skálaskarð. As the gate is blocked (as of August 2020), you need to climb over the fence. The stretch down to Funningsfjørður runs along the 170-metre-long lake Hagavatn; from there, continue straight down to the sheep shed by the road to the village Funningur opposite the village itself. The last grass-covered hills down to the village are a little steep, so be careful not to slip. If a ladder has not been installed, you will need to climb over a fence on your way down to the fiord.

The hike can be taken in either direction. Taking the trip from Funningsfjørður is significantly more strenuous.
