Í vakra umhvørvinum frammi við Gjónna við Leynavatn, har sum Michelin matstovan KOKS heldur til, verður gingið niðan við Ærgisá og yvir í tann djúpa og langa Heygadal

Túrurin byrjar við Leynavatn, har koyrt kann verða inn gjøgnum Drangaósa og víðari inn gjøgnum Oyrarnar, so langt sum til ber, uttan at fara tvørtur um nakra djúpa á. Bilurin kann so setast á eini sandoyru, haðan farið verður til gongu inn í dalin, fram við Dalá. Komin nakað inn um Koks matstovuna við Gjónna verður gingið eftir løgasteinunum yvir um ánna. Haðan skrátt niðan undir Navurtunguna, har farið verður tvørtur um ta breiðu og vøkru Ærgisá. Við vakra útsýninum yvir dalin verður síðan gingið niðan við ánni, yvir um Gotursháls og oman í Heygadal. 

 

Komin niðan á fyrstu høvdina sæst fyrsti varðin. Haðan standa teir tætt allan vegin oman til ánna í Heygadali. Uppiá eru varðarnir tættir og stórir, so tað er lætt at finna vegin. Men á sjálvum Goturshálsi krossar hendan bygdagøtan eina aðra bygdagøtu, nevniliga ta millum Kvívík og Hvalvík. Her skal ansast eftir ikki at fara skeivur av varðunum. 

 

Uppi á Goturshálsi verður gingið gjøgnum Ognarhagan, sum er størsti hagi í Føroyum við 500 áseyðum. Hetta er eisini størsti matrikul í Føroyum, nevniliga umleið 15 km2.

 

Í Vestmanna verður gingið oman í Heygadal gjøgnum Tvørbrekkuna. Har verður farið tvørtur um breiðu ánna og haðan fram við ánni oman á vegin, sum gongur oman til Vestmanna. Hendan áin setur sín vakra dám á dalin. 

 

Tað er lætt at ganga tvørtur um stóru áirnar á hásumri. Munandi torførari er tað hinar árstíðirnar, har tað ikki altíð ber til.

Hæddarmetrar


family icon Suitable for children over 10 years. If children are carried across the river, the hike is suitable for children 6-year-old and older. The path is good for walking, although quite long
difficulty icon Difficult - Two rivers must be forded. The water is at times high in the rivers, making them difficult to ford. No large steppingstones have been placed in this river, but there are enough rocks in it, which makes it crossable when it is dry in summertime. If the water is high in Dalá, walk another 400 metres up the riverbank on its eastern bank until you reach the sheep shed at Ærgisáfløta, where you usually can cross the river close by the sheep pen
terrain icon Grass-covered and good for walking throughout. In places, it is quite wet, especially when crossing the pass Goturshálsur. Two rivers must be forded. When the waters are low, one can cross over steppingstones
