The Faroese Villages You Won't Want to Miss 🌳🌊
The Faroe Islands are made up of 18 islands, each with its own unique charm. While Tórshavn, the capital, often gets the most attention, it's the smaller, more tranquil villages that offer a more authentic and peaceful glimpse of Faroese life. Let’s start our journey with a few of these hidden gems.
Saksun: A Village Surrounded by Nature 🏞️
One of the most enchanting villages in the Faroes is Saksun. Set in a natural bowl, surrounded by towering mountains, this small village offers a breathtaking view at every turn. Accessible only via winding mountain roads, Saksun feels like a hidden oasis, far from the usual crowds.
In Saksun, you'll find an old church rich in history, standing as a testament to the village's past. The church, with its centuries-old architecture, adds a sense of timelessness to this tranquil village. The highlight, however, is the lagoon that forms at low tide—a surreal scene where land is submerged in water, framed by striking cliffs.
For an even more immersive experience, venture up the surrounding hills for a short hike, offering sweeping views of the village below. And the best way to reach this hidden gem? In one of our brand-new modern EV's! Enjoy a peaceful, smooth ride through the mountains, leaving behind no trace as you explore this tucked-away corner of the Faroes.
Gásadalur: And the Famous Waterfall 💦
The remote village of Gásadalur is located on Vágar Island, offering one of the most scenic spots in the Faroe Islands. Gásadalur is famous for its majestic Múlafossur waterfall, which flows directly into the sea. The view is absolutely stunning, and the village is so isolated that it only gained road access in 2004, making it one of the last places in the Faroes to be reached by vehicle.
Gásadalur’s beauty is unmatched, with dramatic cliffs, and of course, the Múlafossur waterfall. Here, you can enjoy a peaceful walk along the edge of the village or hike to the nearby mountain to get a panoramic view of the area. The peaceful surroundings make it the perfect place to reflect on nature’s power, and with an EV, you can explore the village while minimizing your environmental impact.
Tjørnuvík: The Viking Village ⚔️
Tjørnuvík is one of the oldest villages in the Faroes, nestled in a charming bay surrounded by dramatic cliffs. It is famous for its views of the two sea stacks, Risin and Kellingin, which legend says are trolls turned to stone. This village offers a glimpse into Faroese history, with a Viking heritage that is still evident in its architecture and culture.
While exploring Tjørnuvík, stop at the beach to see the dramatic sea stacks. Take your time to hike through the village and up into the hills, where you’ll enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding islands. It’s an area that offers a unique blend of folklore and breathtaking natural beauty.
