There are many legends related to these landscapes, that tell about super natural beings such as the nix, (Nykur in faroese) a scary creature that lives in lakes and often resembles a beautiful horse.
It lures people close, grabs them and pulls them to the bottom of the lake.
There are also the hidden people who look very much like us but practice witchcraft.
And there is the promontorio itself: Slave Mountain. Supposedly, it has gotten its name from the Viking Age, when slaves were pushed off the mountain when they were for no use anymore.
The hike is considered to be an easy one for most hikers. Most of the tour is on almost flat terrain. The last 200 metres are up hill.
