According to the guidebook, Lake Toftavatn is a beautiful and popular hiking area. We are quickly convinced and decide to walk around the lake. The hike around the lake is relatively easy and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The path is well-maintained and mostly a gravel road or paved path, leading us through a diverse landscape, including heathland, moorland, and wetlands. We pass several marshy areas that provide habitat for various bird species. The path winds over gentle hills, continually offering new perspectives of the lake and the surrounding area. There are several spots along the path that are perfect for a photo stop and offer panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding valleys.

The village's name, "Gjógv," means "ravine" or "gorge" in Faroese. This refers to a 200-meter-long, seawater-filled ravine that leads from the village to the sea. This ravine serves as a natural harbor for smaller boats. In rough seas, boats must be pulled out of the water via a ramp to protect them from the surf. The ravine is an impressive natural spectacle, especially when the waves crash against the basalt walls.

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

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

Gjogv nature harbour where there in the summer is many Puffins

This is the fourth largest lake in the Faroe Islands with a surface area of 0,5 square kilometres. Very nice part around the lake.

A really nice circular route around the lake. It's a short walk from Runavik, or you can park near the football pitch and start from there. Great bird life and moorland views.

Gjógv is the Faroese word for crevice. The main attraction of the village is the crevice after which the village is named, with the natural harbour, which is said to have been in use since Viking times. The place is worth visiting as it is interesting and a good place to take a break.
