Mulafossur Waterfall

Reviewed By leadane - Copenhagen Region, Denmark

This iconic shot from the Faroe Islands is a short drive from the airport, and we had enough time to go see it while returning the car to the car rental at the airport. Short and easy walk to get the best view. Plenty of people taking pictures from the same spot, but that did not ruin the beauty of it. A must see place.

Sandavagur Church

Reviewed By RoelR - Wuustwezel, Belgium

If you want to visit Trollkonufingur, this is the town you'll need to park or at least drive trough. Beautiful scenery and a very special church indeed.

Gasadalur Tunnel

Reviewed By pauldL4240HU

There are two ways to get to the Faroe Islands' most iconic site: you can hike across a mountain a few kilometers before Gásadalur, after leaving Bøur, or you can drive through Gasadalur Tunnel, a one-lane dig that goes under the mountain others may be hiking across. The drive through the tunnel is itself an adventure: dimly-lit and narrow, it seems almost foreboding. It is not, however, as it may seem; although it is only one lane, there are a number of dug-out spots along the way to allow one car to pull over and make room for oncoming traffic, and everyone (at least, everyone I saw) drives slowly enough to avoid any surprises. Whichever route you take - the hike over the mountain, or the tunnel through it - will be a new adventure for you. Before you leave the Faroes, you might even want to take both!

Lake Leitisvatn

Reviewed By MarioKordic - Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina

One of the top attractions and "MUST SEE" spots on Faroe Islands It is quite a walk so be ready to walk for at least 30 minutes Make sure to bring rainproof cover for you and your cameras since they are mandatory :) Views are more than beautiful once you climb on the top of the edge Weather on Faroe Islands changes within couple of minutes so be prepared for everything I visited Faroe Islands for 10 days and I saw hurricane wind, snow, rain, sun, etc While I was walking towards lake there was a snow going on for 5 minutes, then sky opened and it was sunny for 20 minutes, once I climbed on the hill it started raining again (talking about luck lol)
