Hiking Tour: Sandvík to Hvalba

The hike begins at the west end of Sandvík. Pass through the gate and follow the cairns uphill. Sandvík is one of the oldest Faroese villages. According to Færeyinga Saga, Viking chieftain Sigmundur Brestisson swam here from Skúvoy in the 11th century but was killed by Torgrímur Illa, who stole his golden arm ring. The first part of the trail is easy but becomes steeper, with cairns spaced farther apart. In clear weather, enjoy stunning views of Sandvík and Lítli Dímun. Near the top, a memorial stone honours 14 men lost in a 1915 whaling disaster. Descend easily towards Hvalba on grassy terrain, rich in summer birdlife. Towards the end, follow the river, keeping a stone wall to your left and a fence to your right, leading to the outfield gate near the concrete water tanks. It is possible and recommended to take a slight detour out to the picturesque Rituskor and to Ásmundarstakkur sea stack.

You’ll ascend past Káragjógv, a dramatic gorge tied to local legend, and continue toward Íslendingur, where the panoramic views open up to islands like Skúvoy, Sandoy and both Dímun islands. The trail flattens out here, offering a peaceful stretch across the highlands. Descend through Mannagjógv, a deep ravine with sweeping views over Trongisvágsfjørður. The hike ends near the forest in Trongisvágur – a perfect spot for a rest and a cup of coffee.

At 519 metres, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views over Vágar Island, the cliffs of Saksun, and Streymoy Island’s northern peaks.

Faroese Tapas at Katrina Christiansen

Katrina Christiansen is a Faroese restaurant inspired by the Spanish-tapas style and is situated in the old part of Tórshavn in a historic building. The building was renovated in 2016 and emphasis was put on preserving as much of the original building as possible. Sections of the house date back to the start of the 18th century, and perhaps even earlier. In the 19th century, the house operated as the largest general store in the Faroe Islands. Several of its occupants have made it into the Faroese history books, including the well-known William Heinesen, who grew into becoming the most widely recognized Faroese author.

Hiking Tour: Cape Enniberg

The hike is estimated to 6 hours and is recommended to people in good shape, since it’s a diffucult and heavy walk. The route starts at “Við Garð” in the northern part of Viðareiði. You will first walk up the road and out through the gate to the outfield. Almost all the way to the top, the route is marked with blue plastic tubes that stick out of the ground.

The first leg is grassy, but gradually the route becomes rockier and cliffs appear. Be aware of loose stones, especially if you are in a group. On one part of the route uphill is an old stone wall. The wall was erected to prevent the cattle from going to steep areas in the mountains. When there are about 100 vertical meters left to the top, you will come to a small plateau with a cairn and some pointed rocks. One of the stones is called “Kona Per” (Per’s Wife). There is a story about a bachelor
from Viðareiði who was teased about not having a wife, and the men teasing him proclaimed the rock to be his wife.

The cairns lead to the steep cliff Enniberg. It is often said among the Faroese that Enniberg, with its 754 meters, is the highest promontory in Europe (indeed, the world) facing the open sea. Whether this is true is not known with certainty, but it is fabulously beautiful and steep at any rate.
It is, however, only recommended to visit Enniberg together with local guides, since the place is difficult to access and it is easy to get lost. The view from the top is spectacular. In addition to Malinsfjall, you see further south than on any of the other beautiful mountains of Viðoy. To the west, you have the proud Kunoyarnakkur, the northernmost of the six mountains in Kunoy that is taller than 800 meters.

Terrain: This hike takes you through diverse and challenging terrain, transitioning from grassy fields to rugged, rocky slopes before reaching steep cliffs with dramatic drops into the ocean.
Other details: Be careful on the way down as the rocky surface is slippery.

• Approx. duration: 6 hours
• Lenght: 8-10 km
• Peak: 754 m
• Elevation: 737 m

Hiking Tour: Historic Húsavík, Dalur, and Scenic Skarvanes

Embark on a roundtrip hike through the charming villages of Húsavík, Dalur, and Skarvanes, where history and nature blend beautifully.

Starting at Guðrunarløkur brook, head south along the main road to Húsavík, a village with stone houses and walls dating back to medieval times. Explore the Tumbakki area by the shore, with mysterious turf sheds likely used for ancient food storage. Continue towards Dalur, following the old village path through stone ruins. Marked by cairns, the trail is steep but welltrodden. From here, follow the path to Skarvanes, with stunning views of the surrounding islands on clear days.

As you descend, the tiny village of Skarvanes will appear, once home to Díðrikur á Skarvanesi, the Faroes’ first known painter. Follow the cairns and poles past Dúniavatn lake, and watch for the split Klovnusteinar rocks. They look like a single rock that has been split into two. People used to believe that if you walked through the rocks, you would die before the year is over. This is most likely a myth, but try to steer around the rocks… Just in case.

Return to Guðrunarløkur to complete your scenic journey through Sandoy’s historic heart.

• Approx. duration: 4-6 hours
• Lenght: 15.3 km
• Peak: 296 m
• Elevation: 668 m

ADD-ON: Rappelling in Sandoy

Rappel down the towering cliffsnear Sandur. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but it’s an unforgettable way to get up close with the island’s raw nature. As you make your way down (and yes, back up again), you’ll have front-row views of nesting seabirds, sculpted rock faces, and the roaring Atlantic below.

This is Sandoy at its most dramatic—seen from a perspective few ever reach.

Traditional Home Dining in Toftir

Join the Rasmussen family in Toftir for an authentic Faroese meal. Just 15 minutes from Tórshavn, Rigmor and Jens Mortan will serve six traditional dishes inspired by Faroese culinary heritage, including dried fish, fermented fish, and rhubarb pie. Enjoy local flavours in a cosy 1960s home, accompanied by Faroese beer, coffee, and tea. A warm, memorable dining experience that brings Faroese culture to life.

Hiking Tour: Sundshálsur Circular

From the first steps, this route offers open views over Eysturoy, south toward Tórshavn, and out to the island of Koltur. The path climbs gently toward the small mountain pond at Sundshálsur before reaching the broad pass of Reiðskarð — also known as Norðarskarð in Syðradal — where the grassy trail is marked by cairns and easy underfoot. From here, descend into Syðradal along a new farm road, cross the Breiðá river, and follow a line of red-topped poles toward Norðradal. The trail narrows through Tungulið pass, where cliffs drop steeply to the surf below and deep gullies cut into the hillside. Koltur’s distinctive profile appears ahead, standing sentinel in the sea.

Beyond the stone gate at Norðradal, you can add a short detour into Dalagjógv gorge, a dramatic cleft with a narrow ledge, before continuing into Sunnarabotn. The climb steepens up Rossarygg ridge, a natural viewpoint tied to an old local legend about a priest’s fateful journey — a story that gives Lýsnarskarð, or “Light Pass,” its name. The final stretch to Sunnarskarð opens onto a sweeping panorama of Kallbaksfjørður and the eastern peaks of Eysturoy. From here, the walk eases into a flat, stony track leading back across the high ground to Sundshálsur.

• Approx. duration: 3.5 hours
• Length: 11 km
• Peak: 437 m
• Elevation gain: 649 m
• Terrain: Grass path with some steep sections

A Journey into Faroese Fermentation at RÆST

RÆST, located in the heart of Tórshavn, offers a truly unique dining experience, steeped in Faroese tradition. The restaurant is dedicated to the ancient art of fermentation, known locally as ræst, which has been a cornerstone of the Faroese diet for centuries due to the islands’ harsh climate and limited access to fresh ingredients. At RÆST, this timehonoured technique is transformed into a culinary art form, blending traditional methods with contemporary Nordic cuisine.

The menu at RÆST is a celebration of the Faroese terroir. Fermented lamb, fish, and other local ingredients, such as root vegetables, are prepared in innovative ways that showcase the natural flavours and textures developed through the fermentation process. Each dish is carefully crafted to offer diners an authentic taste of Faroese heritage while also pushing the boundaries of modern gastronomy.

The setting at RÆST is as intimate and rustic as the cuisine it serves. Housed in a traditional wooden building, the warm atmosphere evokes a sense of connection to the past. Dining here is not just a meal; it’s an exploration of Faroese culture and culinary history. Every course is accompanied by stories of how these ancient preservation techniques sustained generations of islanders.

For those looking to experience the raw and distinct flavours of the Faroe Islands, RÆST offers a one-of-a-kind journey that leaves a lasting impression on the palate and the soul.
