페로 제도 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

The weather is completely unpredictable… as always in the Faroe Islands. In my opinion, good hiking boots are a must for the climb.

Here you can get drinks and snacks, friendly service, and outdoor seating.

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.

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 😃.
