Hiking & Road Trips

Drive to the westernmost village on the airport island of Vágar, Gásadalur. Here you will discover the captivating waterfall, Múlafossur. This is a highlight for many of our foreign visitors as the sight is unlike any other. The stunning waterfall flows off the edge of the island straight into the North Atlantic Ocean.

Tjørnuvík is a small village by a beach at the northern tip of Streymoy. From there you can see two stone stacks which an old Faroese tale describes to be a giant and a witch. In an attempt to bring our islands to Iceland, the sun arose before they could do so and they were ultimately turned into stone. This old folktale and the charming houses have helped make this small village a great attraction for locals and tourists alike.

In addition, Tjørnuvík is also a good surfing spot.

On your way to Tjørnuvík, make sure to stop at Fossá by Haldarsvík. This is a popular tourist attraction, especially after heavy rainfall. It is one of the highest waterfalls in the Faroe Islands at 140 meters.

Kirkjubøur, although small, is rich with history. In the Middle Ages the village was the center of all religious and cultural activity in the country, being the location for the most famous Faroese monument, the ruins of Magnus Cathedral.

Explore Viðareiði, which is the northernmost village of the Faroe Islands. This small village is a perfect place for an epic hike, as Cape Enniberg at 754 meters is the tallest promontory in the Faroe Islands and one of the tallest in the world.

Take the old road from Tórshavn to Kollafjørður. It will lead you close to several mountain peaks. Explore several breathtaking views here, for example the iconic view driving to Norðadalur.

Gjógv is a small village overlooking a majestic view of the mountains of Kalsoy. Gjógv is Faroese for gorge and is given its name due to the gorge that runs into the sea north of the village.

Experience the world’s first undersea tunnel with a roundabout. The tunnel connects Streymoy to Skálafjørður fjord’s eastern and western arm.

Get the full Eysturoy Tunnel experience by tuning onto radio station 97 FM to hear a soundtrack made of sounds from the tunnel. The radio channel is only available inside the tunnel.

Enjoy a trip in your car rental in the Faroe Islands to Slættaratindur. At an elevation of 880 meters, it is the tallest mountain on our islands with a hike providing an exceptional view.
