Lagt er upp frá hesthúsum Siglfirðinga og gengið eftir stikum alla leið. Fyrsti áfangi liggur upp hrygg milli tveggja greinilegra gilja. Þar ofar, milli Snóks í suðri og enda Hafnarfjalls í norðri, er farið eftir Skjaldarbringum og genginn gróinn hestavegur. Rétt áður en komið er í Dalaskarð má greina Styrbjarnardys. Frá vörðu í miðju Dalaskarði er gengið eftir stikum niður að Langahrygg, sem rís eins og hlaðinn vegur upp úr umhverfinu og eftir honum endilöngum er hin greiðasta leið. Á Neðri-Brúnum sveigir gatan til norðurs neðan Lambadala og Skollaskálarhnjúks og þá er komið á Messugötur. Um þær er svo farið skáhallt niður að þjóðvegi ofan eyðibýlisins Dalabæjar.

The hike starts at the Siglufjördur town stables and you walk following the marker posts all the way. The first stretch lies up over a ridge between two distinct ravines. Above that, between Snókur to the south and the end of Hafnarfjall to the north, the route goes along the Skjaldarbringur mountains as you follow an overgrown horse trail. Shortly before you reach Dalaskarð pass you will be able to detect the Styrbjarnardys cairn. To the south-west from Dalaskarð pass the Illviðrishnjúkar peaks rise high (the highest one is 895 m) and to the west is Mánárvik inlet, a dell to the west of Mánárdalur valley and above that is the westernmost Illviðrishnjúkur peak with Vikshnjúkur peak farther north. North of it is Stóraskál basin and to the north of that are Skálarhnjúkur peak and Mánárfjall mountain. North of Dalaskarð pass are the Leirdalir area and north of these is Hafnarhyrna mountain and further to the north is the mountain Dalaseti. From a cairn in the middle of the Dalaskarð pass you follow the marker posts down towards the Langahryggur ridge, which rises above its surroundings like a brick-layered road, and easy to hike along all the way. At Neðri-Brúnir the trail swings to the north below the Lambadalir hollow and Skollaskálarhnjúkur peak and then you have reached the Messugötur trail. To the south-west you now see the majestic mountains rise above the landscape, those that were earlier mentioned from the Dalaskarð pass, and the most prominent among them is the Litlihnjúkur peak. Along the Messugötur trail the Dalamenn inhabitants rode to church at Hvanneyri in Siglufjörður. Along this trail you then continue at an angle down towards the main road above the abandoned farm Dalabær.
