바가르 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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...🪺🐣🐤

Our destination, Trøllkonufingur, translated as "Witch's Finger" or "Troll Woman's Finger," is an impressive, 313-meter-high monolith that rises majestically from the sea off the southeast coast of Sandavágur. The rock formation is shrouded in local legend: It is said that a witch wanted to throw the Faroe Islands to Iceland. When she reached the shores of Vágar, the sun rose and turned her to stone. Because she was so enormous, only the back of her head (now the island of Koltur) and her finger (Trøllkonufingur) protruded above the water.

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.

There's a small souvenir shop called Uanni, run by a local, selling hand-knitted sweaters and other local products. We get chatting and learn interesting things about the village and its residents. His wife's hobby is chicken farming. 🐣🐤🐔. The shop has a very old telephone that's still in use. We're allowed to try it out. 📞🗯 There's also a large picture of a postage stamp depicting the postman of yesteryear. He always had to take the long, steep, and dangerous route over the mountain.

First, we visit the Múlafossur waterfall, which plunges over 20 meters into the sea over a vertical cliff. Here, we also see four puffins 😃.

In the village, there's a café called Gásadalsgarður, which serves local Faroese cuisine. We sit on the roof terrace in the sun 🌞 and enjoy the view. Simply wonderful ❣️
