Top 10 places to Visit in Faroe - no comment

What's up guys, my name is Ryan and I just returned from exploring the Faroe Islands and I want to share with you my favorite places and experiences, so here's my Faroe Islands top 10. Located between Iceland and Norway, the Faroe Islands are home to some of the most dramatic and epic landscapes in the world. From the famous lighthouse in Kallsøy to the Drangoneer sea stacks, the Faroe Islands will leave you in awe with its enchanting scenery. Let's start this video off at the Møllefjord waterfall. This may be one of the most recognizable places in the Faroe Islands. It's this incredible waterfall that cascades 30 meters into the ocean below. It's located in the village of Gassodalur, about 20 minutes from the Vagard airport. Now before 2004, the only way to reach the village was by hiking over the nearby mountains, but thankfully a tunnel was constructed, so it's super easy to get to. When you reach Gassodalur, you can make the short walk to the Møllefjord viewpoint. It's an absolute stunning vantage point and you get a perfect view of the waterfall. I love when the wind was so strong that it would blow the waterfall into a mist. There were some stairs that go down to the ocean, but I guess it's not allowed to go down there due to the dangerous conditions of the sea. I mean the waves were just raging when I was there. If you're lucky, you might see a puffin or two on the cliffs near the viewpoint after spending some time at the waterfall. I love just walking around the trails that go around the fields of Gassodalur. It was so peaceful and full of incredible views of the surrounding scenery. Now afterwards we're going to visit the nearby Drangoneer sea stacks. After learning about the Faroe Islands a few years ago, the Drangoneer sea stacks have been the place I wanted to visit most. It's this one-of-a-kind slanted sea stack with an arch in the middle. I mean places don't get more epic. Now to reach Drangoneer, there's a few ways to go about it. You can pay about 80 euros to make the five to six hour hike with a local guide or you can do a boat tour. I decided to do the boat tour because I didn't want to do the long hike. It was more expensive costing around 300 euros, but it was definitely worth it. We left from the port in Sørvager and it was only a 10 minute ride to reach the sea stacks. We first did a loop around Drangoneer in the boat and it really showed the massive scale of these sea stacks. After we landed on the nearby shore, it was a little sketchy getting off, but anyways I immediately just started exploring the area. I hiked up to these cliffs on the other side and I just couldn't believe the landscapes. The sea cliffs rose hundreds of meters from the ocean and it was just some of the craziest wind and rain I've ever experienced. After I just spent some time marveling at the Drangoneer sea stacks, it just blows my mind that places like this exist. Behind Drangoneer is the island of Tynholmur, which I thought was equally impressive. It was just so jagged and dramatic. After spending about two hours at Drangoneer, we took the boat back to the port. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest, it was one of my favorite things I did during my time on the Faroe Islands. After it, we're going to visit Dunisdrengar. I think this is one of the most incredible places in the Faroe Islands. Now to reach it, for now it costs about 60 euros and you go with a guide. The hike took about an hour one way through these kind of wet and boggy fields. When I almost reached the cliffs, I found myself in this enchanting landscape with sheep and just green hills in the clouds. Shortly after I made it to the sea cliffs, I mean I just couldn't believe the scale of them. They were several hundred meters high and the sea stacks were on another level. I mean there were thousands of seabirds just flying around and it goes down as one of the most incredible places I've ever been. I just enjoyed just kind of chilling there and marveling at just the beauty of this place. Definitely one of the highlights of my time on the Faroe Islands. After we're going to visit Trollkona Finger or the Witch's Finger. According to legend, the 300 meter tall stone monolith is the finger of a witch that came to throw the Faroe Islands to Iceland. Now to reach it, you can park in the nearby village of Sandavagar and it's a 20 minute walk to the viewpoint. It's a really peaceful hike and the view of the monolith is just pretty cool. I mean there's no shortage of impressive sea cliffs in the Faroe Islands. After we're going to visit the village of Saxon. Located on the Straymore Island, Saxon is this remote village home to this lagoon that fills up with seawater. Now the main reason I wanted to go here was to visit the Black Beach. It takes about an hour to get there and you'll pay about 10 euros and go through this gate to continue the hike. You'll first walk through this lagoon with its black sand and then there's this really impressive waterfall and you continue walking through this channel until you reach the ocean. When I arrived it was such a rush. I mean the waves were just pounding on the shore and the scenery was just unbelievable here. I mean the combination of the green hills contrasted with the black sand was a scene straight out of a movie. I mean being there with nobody around except the waves and the seabirds was a special feeling. I mean if you're looking for adventure, you got to give Saxon's Beach a visit. After we're going to experience the nearby Fossa waterfall. Now located about 45 minutes from Torsund, Fossa is the tallest waterfall in the Faroe Islands with a height of 140 meters. It's situated right off the road and you can hike up to it. Now from the bottom the view is pretty impressive but I decided I wanted to hike up to the second tier and up there it was just really peaceful and magical. I mean the grass was so green and there was these just little wildflowers. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some magical creatures just roaming around there. I mean it was such a charming place. Now from Fossa you can make the 10-minute drive to the village of Chornuvik. It's this idyllic village with about 70 residents. I really enjoyed just walking around on the black sand beach there. It's also one of the few places where you can surf in the Faroe Islands. I hiked above the village and got a great viewpoint. I mean it would be so cool to live here. Another really cool feature of Chornuvik is that you can see these unique sea stacks in the distance. This village is just so scenic. After we're going to do the hike to Heftamar. Now this is a pretty easy hike. Located about 45 minutes from Torshan. Now you start by walking over this little stairway and it's a pretty relaxed walk to the first viewpoint. You get a great view of the village of Funengar and the combination of the mountains and the fjord below is absolutely phenomenal. After I hiked up the ridge for a higher vantage point and I experienced some of the craziest wind. I mean it was just so freaking windy. I had such a great time just chilling on the top viewing these incredible landscapes. It was definitely one of my favorite hikes from the Faroe Islands. After it we're going to visit the nearby village of Jov. It's located just five minutes away. Now Jov is this picturesque village located right in the ocean and it has this really unique rock formation that creates a natural harbor. You can walk down to the harbor. It's pretty cool down there. But what I enjoyed is that there's this other trail that hikes up to these sea cliffs and then also gives you a great view of Jov. I mean it's definitely worth the visit especially if you're in the area. After we're going to head to lake Sorfagsvatn and the Slave Cliffs. Now for this hike it costs about 200 danish kroner which is about 25 euros. It's a pretty chill hike and takes about 45 minutes to reach the sea cliffs. It's called the Slave Cliffs because vikings supposedly would throw slaves off of them. I mean when I reached the cliffs I was just amazed by the size of them and just the thought of falling off into the ocean below was harrowing. Now I hiked up to the Traylanipa cliff and the views up there were just amazing. Now one of the craziest things about this location is the lake Sorfagsvatn. It creates such a unique landscape with like the ocean and then separated by the cliffs and the lake in the back. I mean it doesn't even look real. Now on the other side of the cliffs there's the Bos de la Fossur waterfall. Now I think it's one of the most incredible waterfalls in all the Faroe Islands. Now the waterfall cascading into the ocean with the giant waves slamming into the sea cliffs is one of the craziest landscape combinations I've ever seen. I mean this area is just so amazing and just well worth the entrance fee. Now afterwards we're going to visit the island of Sudaroy. Home to incredible sea cliffs and landscapes, Sudaroy is the southernmost island in the Faroe Islands. To reach it I took a two-hour ferry from Torshavn. When I arrived I drove to the northern part of the island to visit Asmundak Stakkar. I parked and walked for about 30 minutes and made it to the cliffs. The main reason I wanted to come here was to check out this little bridge that goes over this deep chasm. It's a little sketch but not too bad. Just be careful not to wake the troll sleeping under it. I loved walking on it and looking down to the dark depths below. I mean the area is just truly amazing here. On one side of the bridge there's this canyon-like area full of seagulls flying around and then on the other side was just this amazing view of the nearby sea cliffs. I mean the landscapes of the Faroe Islands will amaze you everywhere you go. Now for our final location we're going to visit the island of Kalsoy. Now Kalsoy is home to some of the most dramatic places in the Faroe Islands. To reach the island if you're leaving from Torshavn you can drive through the Asteroid Tunnel which is home to the only undersea roundabout in the world. Then from there you'll go to Klaksvik and you'll take a 20-minute ferry ride. Now once you reach Kalsoy there's several villages on the island. One of my favorites was Mikladalur. It's nestled between the mountains and the sea and it was such a charming village to walk through. Now the main reason I wanted to visit Kalsoy was to see the Kalar Lighthouse. I drove to the most northern village on the island and began the hike to the lighthouse. It was a decent hike with a steady uphill climb and took me about 45 minutes and a lot of sweat to reach the lighthouse. Once I arrived it was just me and a bunch of sheep and I just couldn't believe this place. The sea cliffs were hundreds of meters tall and it was just so lush and green. When I got there the clouds started to roll in and it created for such an epic scene. You may recognize this place from the most recent James Bond movie. There's even a tombstone there in remembrance for Mr. Bond. One thing I did while I was here is I walked on this somewhat sketchy trail and was able to get an amazing view of the lighthouse and overall scenery. After spending a few hours up there I had to rush back to catch the ferry. It was easily one of my favorite places I visited and a perfect way to end my time in the Faroe Islands. Well that is it for my Faroe Islands top 10. There's still so many places I wasn't able to visit so I gotta come back to make part 2. Let me know where your favorite place is in the comments below.
