Superb and a very nice guesthouse to regain your strength.

Slipway into Gjógv Bay.

Beware of the weather! Avoid in fog or rain as it is dangerous (slippery path along the edge of the cliff).

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.

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.

It's a very relaxed 10-kilometer ride from Steymnes/Hvalvík to Saksun. There are hardly any climbs, but there are a lot of tourists in cars. The road is very narrow, but there are plenty of bays to avoid. Since the road is completely in the valley, extreme winds are unlikely. The landscape is breathtaking. I highly recommend cycling this route.

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
