At this point you can see the village of Tjørnuvík and the two stone pillars "Risin and Kellingin" in fine weather. Risin and Kellingin are the most famous natural monument of the Faroe Islands. In front of the steep coast on the north coast of Eysturoys, the two basalt columns are almost dainty, but Risin is 71 m high and Kellingin 69 m high. However, the cliff in front of it, ie the "mainland", with the mountain Eiðiskollur, is up to 352 m high.
