エストゥロイのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Superb and a very nice guesthouse to regain your strength.

The weather is completely unpredictable… as always in the Faroe Islands. In my opinion, good hiking boots are a must for the climb.

Gjógv is a picturesque and remote village known for its tranquil beauty and unique natural features. First documented in 1584, Gjógv likely existed much earlier. For a long time, it relied on fishing and the sale of dried and salted fish. Although its population has declined significantly in recent decades (as of January 2025, there were 19 permanent residents), the village retains its historic charm and offers glimpses into a bygone way of life. The village's name, "Gjógv," means "ravine" or "gorge" in Faroese, referring to a 200-meter-long, seawater-filled ravine that runs from the village to the sea.

very touristy, many hikers but definitely recommended

Great rock crevice with a small harbor and small village behind it. You can often feel the force of the Atlantic waves.

Definitely worth seeing: after a beautiful drive over the mountains, here is a real natural spectacle. The waves of the Atlantic beat with full force against the cliffs

Highly recommended: the journey itself goes through spectacular scenery. The village with its rugged Atlantic coast is even more so. The high waves crash wildly against the cliffs. If you climb up the rocks, you can see the puffins in summer

⚠️ Cliffs! Only proceed with good footwear and when visibility is good. If in doubt, wet surfaces, strong wind or fog, please turn around. Life is too short anyway. It shouldn't end here!
