Today we want to climb the highest mountain in the Faroe Islands (Slættaratindur). Arriving at the parking lot, we can't believe our eyes. Crowds of people. We haven't seen anything like it on our trip. Completely shocked, we get back into the car. We wanted quiet hikes.
Our alternative is called Elduv

Hardly out of the village of Eiði, the ascent to Eiðiskollur begins. We follow the path marked by imposing piles of stones and cross a marshy area. Finally, we reach the foot of an impressive slope. Worn steps form an appealing staircase. After this climb, the gradient flattens, and the antennas near

The old mountain path from Leirvik to Gøta is on the agenda today.
The path up to the mountain Leirvíksfjall is as old as it is beautiful and offers wonderful views. But first, we have to sweat properly. First steep through marshy meadows, later steep over rocks. Part of the path is secured. This makes

Today we are sailing by boat along the steep cliffs. The sea is calm. Perfect conditions.
From the boat, we see the high mountain peaks of the islands Streymoy and Vagar as well as numerous caves along the coast. We sail only a few meters close to one of the region's highest sea stacks, which rises 144

In the morning, the view from the window once again bodes no good. Fog and rain. That's just part of it here. We set off on a hike that connects several historically significant places.

Today we want to hike from Gjógv through the Ambadalur valley to Fjallið. But

We want to start with a rather simple tour. Without many meters of altitude to Fjallavatn lake.
Hardly started, a light drizzle begins. The path slowly becomes narrower, streams have to be crossed.

How does one get the idea to travel to the Faroe Islands? Alone in the middle of the North Atlantic between Scotland, Iceland, and Norway lie the Faroe Islands. The name Faroe literally means "Sheep Islands". This is hardly surprising when you consider that about twice as many sheep as people live on

The area around Lake Tovtan is a wonderful moor and heath landscape. The most extensive heathland area of the Faroe Islands. Peaceful and quiet. A few sheep, a few seagulls and us. After a few kilometers, a first bit of disillusionment. Part of the hiking trail has given way to a new development area
