ストレイモイ周辺のおすすめバス停からハイキング＆ウォーキング

A lovely, relaxed tour. The route from Tórshavn is the more scenic. Bus 5 runs regularly back to the capital until around 9:00 PM and is free.

The Kirkjugarður á Svínaryggí in Tórshavn is a historic cemetery that plays an important role in the history of the city and the Faroe Islands. It is one of the oldest burial grounds in Tórshavn and reflects the long history and cultural development of the region. The cemetery has been used to bury the city's residents over the centuries and contains the graves of important figures as well as ordinary citizens. The oldest gravestones and tombstones in the cemetery provide insight into the past and the religious and social customs of the Faroe Islands. The Kirkjugarður á Svínaryggí is not only a place of remembrance but also a significant cultural heritage site that preserves the community's history. Today, it is a tranquil space that offers both locals and visitors the opportunity to explore and appreciate the history and traditions of the Faroe Islands.

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.

The whitewashed St. Olav's Church was originally built in 1111. It is the oldest village church in the Faroe Islands. To prevent it from sinking into the sea, it was rebuilt in 1874 and given its present form. If you look closely at the church from the outside, you can see an opening in the wall on the north side through which you can see into the chancel. This hagioscope once allowed lepers to follow services from outside.

There are a wealth of historic buildings to see here. These often have grass roofs, giving them a rustic charm that you've probably never seen anywhere else in the world.

The capital is a perfect starting point for exploring the Faroe Islands' breathtaking natural beauty! But the capital itself also has a lot to offer. From the historic old town of Tinganes to the modern 🛥 harbor district, Tórshavn is a fascinating blend of history and the present. We stroll through the cobblestone streets of the old harbor district and enjoy the maritime atmosphere at the harbor, enchanted by the unique blend of Nordic tranquility and vibrant city life.

If you want to be completely alone, you can visit the old cemetery Gamli Kirkjugarður above the West Harbor. If you have a soft spot for old, haunted cemeteries, you should definitely take a stroll through here.
