Arrival at the picturesque village of Gjógv. "Gjógv" in Faroese means gorge and it is to this geological formation that this place owes its name. A huge fissure has formed a natural harbor in the village, which we will see both from the outside and inside.

We will walk among colorful houses and have the opportunity to peep at local sheep. The next point of the trip will be Slættaratindur, which is the highest peak in the Faroe Islands - 880 meters above sea level.

An exciting trek awaits us, during which we will be able to admire the majestic landscapes. We will spend about 1h at the summit, which will be spent eating lunch and enjoying the views.

We will also visit Eiði, a dynamically developing fishing town. It also offers quite a treat for soccer lovers.

The local soccer field has been repeatedly ranked among the world's strangest. The former stadium, located between the ocean and the lake, has served the local team for years, while it is currently used as a campground.

From there, we'll head to the village of Tjørnuvík, with a stop at the 140-meter double-cascade Fossá waterfall.

The settlement lies at the proverbial "end of the world." The black volcanic beach located there is a place loved by surfers from all over the world.

We will end the tour in Saksun - the most fairytale-like of all Faroese villages. The magical lagoon and the church located near it, like a magnet attract tourists.

Saksun is an amazingly impressive place in any weather. Return to the place of accommodation. Dinner on your own. Free time.

 

Day 3
Breakfast on your own.

To begin with, we will go to the most historic Faroese settlement - Kirkjubøur. There we will visit the ruins of the unfinished St. Magnus Cathedral and learn about its history.

Then we will take a look at the oldest still-occupied wooden house in Europe, where descendants of one family have lived for seventeen generations.

We'll also take a look, at the oldest still-active Protestant church in the archipelago.

After an encounter with history, it's time for a sea adventure in the form of a cruise around Hestur Island.

We'll be taken there by a super-fast RIB hydrofoil, which will give us quite a thrill. The eastern coast of Hestur abounds with sea caves, abrasive spires and canyons.

Finally, we will visit Tórshavn, the cozy capital of the Faroe Islands, which, although it looks inconspicuous, hides many beautiful corners.

We will visit the old town of Tinganes, the main promenade, the Skansin fortress and the capital's port.

Tórshavn is also an ideal place to buy souvenirs, including Faroese wool sweaters.

It's time for a close encounter with the northern part of the archipelago. First - Klaksvík, which is the second largest town in the Faroe Islands and the capital of the Northern Islands. Then we will drive to the northernmost settlement in the archipelago - Viðareiði. It is home to some of the highest vertical cliffs in the world - Enniberg.

In addition, the settlement offers a magnificent view of Fugloy Island.

Return to Klaksvík and take a 20-minute ferry ride to the island of Kalsoy. Kalsoy is a unique island, not only because of its peculiar shape (17km long and only 1km wide).

After arriving at the port of Syðradalur, we will head north to the village of Trøllanes. It is here that the trail to the Kallurin lighthouse, which was featured on the cover of National Geographic Traveller, begins.
