This easy uphill hike is on the south side of the river Kornsá. You can park your car off the road but take care not to block the farmers’ access to the track or gate. And make sure the gate is kept closed. There are also a couple of electric fences on the way. Please don’t touch the wires, but use the wooden stiles provided for climbing over those. The path has no trail blazers but you can follow a tractor track almost all the way. When you have reached the uppermost waterfall, Skínandi, it is time to return, walk back down and enjoy the view or kepp following the track upp the hill Fell, See the path Korns-Fell
