Follow a trail through the volcanic terrain on Streymoy Island to the summit of a mountain that will offer breathtaking views of the natural wonders below. As an introduction to the island’s beauty, you will follow a coastal road along Kaldbak fjord, where you can expect to see spectacular waterfalls and sheep lazing about the pastures. Although this part of the Faroes was inhabited in the 11th century, it wasn’t until 1980 that the village of Kaldbak was even connected to the main road system. That remoteness is much of its charm. Your hike will begin at a column of basalt that defines the Streymoy sill, a geological phenomenon that an ancient volcanic eruption left behind. As you ascend to the mountain top, you will enjoy sweeping views of the hauntingly beautiful landscape below. It will be quite the sight in every direction. The island due west is Vágar, home to the only airport in the Faroe Islands.
