FAROE ISLAND, - DENMARK

Midway between Scotland and Iceland, lie the 22 Faroe Islands, an autonomous region of Denmark, in which rugged mountains are cleaved by deep fjords. Throughout the islands, the backdrop is breathtaking: craggy mountains, bright-green valleys with tumbling waterfalls, and treeless expanses. No matter where you are, the sea is never more than a few miles away.

DESIRE TO BE HERE….

Out of the ordinary has always lured me into taking the plunge! Literally the Faroe is a dream destination. A nature lover’s paradise this place tempts me more often every day. It’s a bygone era which prompts you to discover its history, culture and tradition of its capital town Torshavn. Now easily accessible from Iceland or Denmark one can make this trip once in a lifetime.

RECOMMENDATIONS…

  • It is located 797 km. southeast of Reykjavik Iceland.
  • The recommended place to stay will be the Contemporary Hotel Foroyar which overlooks Torshavn.
  • The best time to visit the beautiful Faroe Island would be June – August for warmest weather and midnight sun; October – April for the northern lights.

Highlights

  • Remarkably some 50,000 Faroese are proud of their unique history, culture, and language which descends from Old Norse. Many villages have their own dialects.
  • The Islands striking history is revealed by various Viking settlements that date back to the 9th century, Medieval churches, colourful fishing boats, and the distinctive turf – roofed houses stand out all over the Island.
  • The small capital Torshavn, on the principal island of Streymoy, feautures an atmospheric old quarter and a 15th century munkastovan (monk’s house) built by Irish friars.
  • The beautiful Faroe Island is home to sea birds, puffins. These red-billed birds along with other species, like fulmars and guillemots – flourish in the Faroes, from the Vestmanna Bird Cliffs to the tiny, remote island of Mykines. They carpet the islands in guano, which keeps them surprisingly green as do the warm currents of the Gulf Stream.
