The village path commences just above the woods in Trongisvágur. First, cross the river Stórá and continue up into the field Hvammhagi. From here, you will have views up toward the valley Hvammabotnur with its unique wide and level rock strata surrounded by steep hills. At the head of the valley, you will see the crag Herðablaðið flanked by the gorges Herðablaðsgjáir. To the right of Herðablaðið stands Mt. Gluggarnir 610 metres tall, the highest mountain in Suðuroy. During your ascent, you have good views over Trongisvágur and toward the field of Hvannhagi with the islands Stóra Dímun and Lítla Dímun in the background.

Having crossed the pass Oyrnaskarð, you continue a short distance to reach the pass Valdaskarð, going down through the crags called Harðgreipshamrar. As you approach Valdaskarð, you have views over the field of Øravíkshagi.

It is beautiful to cross Valdaskarð as the lake Kirkjuvatn and Fámjin come into view. Descending toward Kirkjuvatn, you are flanked by magnificent crags. To you right, as you walk through the hill Undir Homrum, you will walk just below the lowest lying crag, which fascinating columnar basalt rises high into the air.

From here, walk along Kirkjuvatn and continue south of the river, passing through the sheep pen down toward Fámjin. 

The path is easy to follow, cairns leading you all the way from the parking lot in Trongisvágur to Fámjin. 

The hike can be taken in either direction, beginning in Trongisvágur being a little less strenuous
