17. Seydisfj. - Lodmundarfjordur
5-6 hours. 12 kilometres.

The trail crosses moorland Hjalmardalsheidi (550m), which was the main route between the bays in the past.  The uppermost part of the slope is steep.  Two streams must be forded, but river Fjardara is crossed on a pedestrian bridge near Saevarendi.

There are quite a few old cairns enroute and the one on the top of the moorland contains a guestbook.  At Saevarendi is a eider colony.  There it is important to stick to the trail not to disturb the ducks.

The trail continues from the old road at Kolsstadir, diagonally up the screes, sometimes rather steep.  In valley Kollstadadalur, river Selsstadaa must be forded.  After crossing the moorland, river Hjalma must also be forded.  Just above the ford, the river runs through a narrow groove, which can be jumped, when the water level is low.

After crossing the Fjardara bridge, a detour could be made to church Klyppstadakirkja, and from there at the foot of the slope to Stakkahlid, where most hikers are accommodated.

This area is well worth spending a whole day for further inspection and discoveries.
