The coves
Kjaransvik, Hloduvik and Haelavik are commonly called
Vikurnar (The Coves). They are
situated between Mt Kjalarnupur and Mt Haelavikurbjarg.
Cove Kjaransvik is the westernmost one and Mt Alfsfell separates
it from cove Hloduvik. It
is possible to walk along the foot of Mt Alfsfell between them.
The ruins of farm Kjaransvik are just to the west of River
Kjaransvikura. Mt
Kjalarnupur drops straight down into the sea and at its foot are two
dykes, Langikambur and Teigarkambur and nearby is a synonymous abandoned
farm.
Hiking
trails offer walks to the top of Mt Kjalarnupur, to cove Fljotavik and
to Hesteyri on the Hesteyri Bay over the Kjaransvik Pass and along the
edges of the Innri-Hesteyri Cliffs. |
