Hiking is a great way to see the islands. However, it can be tricky to get to remote areas. There are many things to do in the Faroes. For example, you can explore the Vestmanna bird cliffs, which is where thousands of birds nest during the winter.

There’s also a hiking trail from Tjornuvik to Saksun. This route is about three hours long and includes some interesting features.

Another top-rated day-trip is to see the waterfalls at Bosdalafossur. This waterfall is one of the most dramatic in the Faroes. Hikers should be careful at the upper part of the waterfall, but there is a lot to see along the route. If you want to take in some of the most dramatic scenery in the world, try a day trip to the Faroe Islands.

It is relatively flat and takes about three kilometers to complete. You will follow a path parallel to the eastern shore of Sorvagsvatn. There is also a view of Trollkonufingur, a large rock on the island of Vagar. The trail is marked with Google Maps, but if you are not familiar with the area, you may want to get a local guide. Hiking restrictions are in place to protect fragile wildlife. These restrictions are meant to limit foot traffic, not to prohibit it. There are several restaurants and pubs in the Vagsbotnur harbor. It is one of the liveliest places in town. This hike is a great way to see the scenery of Sorvagsvatn. The lake floats on the edge of the cliff, creating a stunning image. During the summer, there are thousands of puffins around the shore of the lake. The view from the Traelanipa viewpoint is stunning. The cliffs are 142 metres high and are windy. You should be careful, as it is possible to slip. For a full day’s hiking, you can take the Saksun-Tjornuvik route. You will begin by a waterfall behind turf houses, then make a steep climb to the summit. At the summit, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Lake Sorvagsvatn. Weather in the Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands have a climate which is quite unique. Due to its location in the Atlantic, the weather there is highly variable. It can be very warm or extremely cold and it can rain a lot or not. In general, the Faroe Islands have a temperate marine climate, which means that they experience fairly wet and warm summers. However, winters can be very cold. This is due to the large influence of the Gulf Stream, which is nearby. Winters are chilly, with temperatures averaging five degrees Celsius above the freezing point. Snowfall is not rare, but there are only a few days per year when the island’s peaks are blanketed in snow. As a rule of thumb, the Faroe Islands are not a cheap destination. But with some planning, you can have a lovely vacation here without breaking the bank. One of the best things about the Faroe Islands is its natural beauty. Every corner is dotted with waterfalls. If you’re looking to see one, you should plan a trip between May and September. Another fun thing to do in the Faroe Islands is take a boat tour. There are a variety of different boats that will take you to some great sites. Some of the most popular ones include the Boat Tour to Drangarnir and the Boat Tour to the Northern Lights. Another fun thing to do in the region is to visit a cafe. Many of the islands have one, and there are many varieties to choose from. These cafes offer a selection of sandwiches and snacks.

Waffles and Tea in Tjørnuvík
After finishing the hike, we noticed a sign in town for homemade waffles. After hiking this sounded like an amazing idea and gave us a chance to meet a lovely Faroese man. He welcomed us into his home, made us fresh waffles with cream and jam and hot tea & coffee. It was just perfect. Look for his sign in Tjørnuvík!

Saksun to Tjornuvik
I wake up to overcast skies and a light, intermittent rain failing. Day two in the Faroe Islands. Today I randomly decide to hike the Saksun trail and see what treasures may lie within. The drive is lovely, even with the light rain and dark clouds shrouding the mountain tops. The two lane highway quickly becomes a one lane country road as I get closer to the destination. I quickly learn the…
