Ein lættur túrur tvørtur um tann slætta Langasandshagan, har fleiri áir renna, og gott útsýni er yvir Sundini og Saksunardal

Komin niðan frá Langasandi verður fyrst gingið suður eftir Ryssheiðum og Slættanum, eitt vakurt, slætt og hugnaligt øki beint oman fyri Langasand. Haðani gongur leiðinniðan gjøgnum Stígarnar. Hetta er eitt sindur tungt, men her er gott og vallað at ganga. Restin av túrinum er løtt.

 

Í Langasandshaganum verður fyrst gingið tvørtur um ta vøkru Norðaru Gjánagjógvará, síðan ein góðan kilometur eftir slættanum, til komið verður niðan á Streymnesháls. Haðani verður gingið oman í Saksunardal,  meginpartin av teininum verður gingið fram við tí hugnaligu Streymnesánni og tí hugtakandi bratta økinum við Streymnesfossum.

 

Tá ið komið er oman á slætt, skal ein tvørtur um ta vøkru Dalánna fyri at koma til høvuðsvegin. Um summarið, tá ið turt er, er hampiligt at koma tvørtur um ánna í vanligum fjallaskóm, tó kann hellan í ánni vera hál at ganga eftir. Um tað hevur regnað, er áin munandi størri, og tá er kanska neyðugt at vassa yvirum. Eisini ber til at ganga niðan til brúnna um Dalá, 800 m longri uppi. 

 

Fá fólk ganga hendan túrin, so her er sera friðarligt. Útsýnið yvir Sundini, Saksunardal og øll fjøllini rundanum er vakurt og fjøltáttað.

 

Tvørtur um Dalánna skal verða leitað eftir besta staðnum at ganga tvørturum. Um veðrið loyvir tí, ber til at ganga frá snippinum av tunguni millum Dalá og Streymnesánna, fyrst nakrar metrar omaneftir og síðan beint tvørturum – sum gpx-fílan eisini vísir.

Hæddarmetrar


family icon Suitable for kids above 6 years
difficulty icon Medium - It can be a challenge to find the right place to cross Dalá if waters are high, even though the river is shallow and its current weak. Smaller children will most likely need to be carried across. Another option is to walk 800 metres toward Saksun, where a bridge crosses the river
terrain icon Grass-covered for the most part. There is quite a bit of heather by the river Streymnesá, turning a little rocky by the water falls Streymnesfossar
