From Hesteyri the path out of Hesteyrarfjörður goes up to the mountain Nóngilsfjall. Follow the path into Sléttuheiði (280 m). The path is marked with cairns and most of the way is visible. The river Sléttuá needs to be crossed just above Slétta. When walking down the valley Fannadalur towards the church at Staður, the path can be wet and occasionally not easily visible.
