Several of these paths met near Borgarknappur, in Mannaskarð and near a mountain called Laðanfelli (487 metres (1,598 ft) high). To help people find their way up in the mountains there were cairns along the paths. Most of these cairns are still there and now mostly used for hiking trips for people and tourists. The paths which meet in Mannaskarð, near Borgarknappur come from the villages: Øravík, Fámjin, Porkeri, Hov and Vágur.
