Hiking trip to Gásadalur-  the old cairn track.

This hiking trip begins next to the tunnel to Gásadalur.

We hike up the mountain for a fantastic view over the village of Gásadal and Sørvágs fjord. The village has been one of the most isolated villages in the Faroe Islands until a tunnel in 2004 connected the village with the rest of the island's road network. Before that, one of the only ways to get there was by walking over a mountain, and this is the trail we will follow on this tour.

The first stretch of the path is rather steep and runs close to the edge of the mountain, where you get an outstanding view over Sørvágsfjørður fjord, Tindhólmur, Gáshólmur and Mykines. On the way to Gásadal village, we will stop by some interesting places, and some local stories and myths from the past will be told. We will stop and drink from a very special creek, which contains fresh water. Before we go down to Gásadal village, you will get an opportunity to look down on the beautiful village of Gásadal, the mountains around it and the famous waterfall from the upper angle.

The tour ends in the village of Gásadal.
