Things to do in Faroe Islands, Faroe Islands: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

April 2, 2022 Major Galusha

Bobbing in the frothing North Atlantic, the remote, 18-piece Faroes are a picturesque patchwork of emerald pastures, dotted with sheep, gaily-hued cottages and tree-free moors. The sea is never more than three miles distant in this proud, assured land, where deep-rooted traditions remain strong. The coasts boast deep fjords, steep cliffs and looming headlands. Explore these fjords by wooden sloop or sail the coast by schooner. Walk the fells and brave the unpredictable weather to puffin spot.

Olavskirkjan

Reviewed By ivart2017

The Olavskirkjan is a part of the three churches at Kirkjubour. It is still in use even it is very old. The church invites the visitors to pray in silence but you are also welcome to study the architecture and changes to it over time. The wood structure in the tower is wonderfull and of very high level of craftmanship. A must place to visit!

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.

Tjornuvik Kirkja

Reviewed By RoelR - Wuustwezel, Belgium

At the very top end of Vestmanna lies a little village called Tjornuvik. There is just one road leading to is, and it also terminates there. The village consist of about 20-30 houses and boast a stunning mountain range in the SW and an very beautiful bay with black sand in the NE. Sheep all around and typical houses with grass on the roof make this a painting on its own. As this was our first village during our visit, this was already a benchmark in the views section. Simply staggering. The road leading to it is also worth a mention, adventurous and view all the way.
