The view north through the fjord Funningsfjørður. After walking the 60 altitude meters from the road up the mountain gorge Sniðsgil, we have reached the highest point on the village path. The rest of the trip to Elduvík is a 3km pleasant walk - except for a small slippage which we must cross. Photo: Óli Gardshodn
View from the headland Elduvíksnes into the fjord Funningsfjørður. The village path is all the way up on this rock wall that we stand on, and it goes as far in as we can see, after which it goes down the road through a mountain gorge. It is actually a very nice and quiet walk. Photo: Óli Gardshodn
View from the headland Elduvíksnes over to the village Funningur. In the background to the left the ridge up to the highest mountain on the Faroe Islands, Slættaratindur 882m., And to the right Gráfelli, the second highest mountain. Photo: Óli Gardshodn

Ein stuttur, góður og vakur túrur, har útsýnið niðan á Dalkinsfjall, yvir um fjørðin og út í Kalsoynna er stórbart. Gott útsýni er eisini yvir á hægstu fjøll okkara
ÁVARING: ein skriða ávegis aftur til elduvíkar ger túrin torføran.
Túrurin úr Funningsfirði til Elduvíkar um Sniðsgil er onnur av tveimum bygdagøtum millum bygdirnar báðar. Tað er lætt at ganga úr Funningsfirði niðan gjøgnum Sniðsgil og um hamaran til Gøtuhjalla. Haðan gongur tú heim eftir hjallanum til Elduvíkar. Tvey tey fyrstu gilini frá Elduvíksnesi til Elduvíkar (inni í Barmi) eru bæði rapað, so at heldur torført er at sleppa yvirum hjá illa gongdum. Gøtan á Hjallanum fram við Funningsfirði liggur beint oman fyri landsvegin millum Funningsfjørð og Elduvík, so her er ikki fullkomiliga friðarligt. Fyrsti varðin í Sniðsgili sæst frá vegnum. Varðarnir síggjast ikki úr bygdini elduvíkarmegin.

- It is easy to walk, although at times steep, which might be a challenge for people with fear of heights
Grass-covered and easy to walk but wet in places. However, the path is in bad condition in two gullies near Elduvík. One must climb over a fence at the Cape of Elduvík
