フェロー諸島周辺のおすすめバス停からハイキング＆ウォーキング

You don't have to drive to the island. As a pedestrian, take the ferry. It's also cheaper than driving. Then take the bus to Trollanes or a town before and hike to the lighthouse. The bus also takes all hikers back to the ferry.

We start in Miðvágur, pay the entrance fee for the first time on this vacation, and walk up the Trælanípa cliff toward the waterfall. Trælanípa (Faroese for Slave Cliff) is a 148-meter-high cliff on the south coast of the island of Vágar. It's a popular tourist destination and offers spectacular views of Lake Leitisvatn, which appears to float above the sea. The name "Slave Cliff" comes from the old legend that disabled Irish slaves were pushed into the sea from here. There are hiking trails leading to the cliff. However, we are only allowed to take one path because it is still breeding season...🪺🐣🐤

The statue stands in front of his childhood home, the Beitinum in Miðvágur. It depicts the famous writer Mikkjal á Ryggi. Mikkjal Dánjalsson á Ryggi (1879–1956) was born in Miðvágur and lived in Gásadalur. He was a teacher and politician. However, Mikkjal á Ryggi is best known for his literary work, which includes poems, psalms, local histories, and schoolbooks. The number of psalms Mikkjal á Ryggi wrote is remarkable. No other Faroese writer wrote as many psalms as he did. Furthermore, Mikkjal á Ryggi was the first to write local histories. In the spring of 2011, a statue in Mikkjal á Ryggi's honor was unveiled. The statue depicts Mikkjal á Ryggi in full size, made of bronze, sanding an open stone book. The book features quotes from Mikkjal á Ryggi's work. The statue was created by sculptor Hans Pauli Olsen. It is located in front of Mikkjal's childhood home, í Beitinum, in Miðvágur.

The small, colorful sheds serve as storage rooms. One even houses a public restroom. Their bright colors make them a lovely photo opportunity.

The Vestmanna Seabird Cliffs are the most famous attraction. Boat tours depart from the Vestmanna Tourist Centre and lead to the impressive cliffs, which are up to 600 meters high. Thousands of seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, razorbills, and fulmars nest here.

Farmer and businessman Ólavur á Heygum had the vision of damming the Fossá River and diverting the water to a turbine on the bank. The first hydroelectric power plant was commissioned in 1921 and is still in operation.

Opposite the cathedral is the large Royal Farm. A magnificent 12th-century residence, the farm is considered the oldest inhabited wooden house in Europe. The name "Royal Farm" comes from the fact that the Norwegian King Sverre (1151-1202) was born and raised here as the illegitimate son of his mother Gunnhild, who was married to a brother of the Faroese Bishop Roes and had fled from Norway to Kirkjubøur.

A little higher and further inland are the ruins of the Gothic St. Magnus Cathedral, also known as Magnus Cathedral because of its size. Kirkjubømúrurin, or simply Múrurin (Faroese for "the wall"), is the ruin of Magnus Cathedral (also Magnus Cathedral, Faroese Magnus-katedralurin) from around 1300 in Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands. It is on the waiting list for UNESCO World Heritage listing and is the most important medieval building in the Faroe Islands.
