Itinerary description
I stayed on this wonderful during one week. But unpredictly weather be aware!
This track was my favourite (even if the others were amazing too)..
Tracks I used here are mostly signaled by cairns but the challenge is to camp in this peaceful nature :-) However I strongly recommand a compass and a map as I used it necessarily (Heavy fog in the 2nd morning): it's hard to find the way to the road 53 to Saksun
Was moderate, not so hard but takes a day.

I did this hike too 8-9 August. Only go when the sky is blue/weather is ok, if there's fog you will get lost without a Garmin system. Thanks for this post, almost no one knows about the hike. There are few cairns. De nature is beautiful. I was the only human in in the area.
