Gjogv, Kirkjubour & Slættaratindur // Faroe Islands Travel Vlog
THUMBS UP if you would like to travel to The Faroe Islands!! This is my third Faroe Islands Travel Vlog - a fun look at what it’s like to go hiking in the Faroe Islands despite crazy weather conditions.
We went hiking in the gorgeous town of Gjogv and also up the Faroe Islands highest mountain - Slættaratindur.
Despite sunshine then rain and then snow, the Faroe Islands is beautiful regardless of the weather. Gjogv is one of the most beautiful towns in the Faroe Islands, and we also visited the historic towns of Gjogv, Torshavn and Kirkjubour.
Be sure to check out my Faroe Islands playlist for more travel inspiration from this remote travel destination.
Sorry for re-uploading this - there was an error the first time I uploaded my video! :-( THUMBS UP please.
Hike Tórshavn to Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands
2 hours relatively easy walk from Tórshavn to Kirkjubøur along the path over the mountain. Seven km one way. The return trip can be made by taking the bus, which departs several times daily from Kirkjubøur to Torshavn. Timetable bus: ssl.fo
In the Middle Ages, Kirkjubøur was the cultural centre of the Faroe Islands. It was here that the bishop lived and the cathedral was built. Ruin of Saint Magnus Cathedral still dominates the site.
The Kings farmehouse originates from Sognefjord in Norway, where it was dismantled piece by piece, numbered and shipped to Kirkjubøur to be rebuilt.
St Olav’s Church was built in 1111 and is the only church from the Middle Ages still in use on the islands. The church is open daily from 8am-8pm.

Welcome to the Faroe Islands! The Faroe Islands in Danish means the Islands of the Sheep, and you will see why! It’s located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles off the coast of Northern Europe, between Norway and Iceland. The first people to colonize the islands were Norwegians about 1,200 years ago and it become a major Viking settlement in that time. Its main industries are fishing and tourism - people come to experience its natural beauty, incredible bird life and delicious Faroese gastronomy.
First up is Gasadalur, which for a long time it was the most isolated town in the Faroe Islands. It’s a very popular town to hike to because of its natural scenery and its cliff views. In 2006 they opened a tunnel to make the town more accessible. Fun fact: Gasadalur means Goose Valley.
Lake Sorvagsvatn is the biggest lake in the Faroe Islands. It has an area of 3.4 sqkm, and its located on the island of Vagar, where the airport is. It takes a few hours to hike around the entire lake, so get your hiking boots ready! The best way to see the lake is by helicopter, the only way to see the lake emptying out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Torshavn is one of the smallest and most pleasant capital cities in the world! Torshavn in Old Norse means Thor, God of Thunder. It’s a modern city with the highest concentration of hotels, restaurants and cafes in the islands. You can explore the old Tinganes district where the parliament building is. You can see the national museum, check out some galleries, see the harbor and dine at some delicious modern and traditional restaurants.
Now we head to the southernmost village in Streymoy, Kirkjubour. This was the religious center on the Faroe Islands for over 1,000 years until the reformation. We came to see the 13th century ruins of the Saint Agnes Cathedral, the House museum and a middle age church.
We head north on Streymoy to Saksun. This is a beautiful town with turf roof houses. The best time come is during low tide because you can see the beach and walk on a sand bar to the lagoon. There are no restaurants here so be sure to bring a snack for a picnic!
Tjornuvik is the northernmost town on the island of Streymoy. It’s a quiet village, but the scenery is beautiful its beach has epic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Next up is Gjogv, the northernmost town on the Island of Eysturoy, the second largest island in the Faroes. It’s a small scenic village with a charming bed and breakfast. We stayed a night, but you can just as easily just come for the day. Gjogv is undoubtedly on of most picturesque places in the Faroe Islands. The name Gjogv means gorge – it was named after the village’s natural gorge
Klaksvik is the second largest town in the country and from here you can take a ferry to Kalsoy. I suggest you pass by Bakariio Jorun (Bakery Jorun) and grab a snack or lunch. They have plenty of Danish-style toasts with different toppings, as well as homemade pastries, coffee, and beverages.
A 25-minute ferry ride will take you to Kalsoy, AKA island of the man. There is one road that travels up the east side of the island connecting a handful of villages. Kalsoy is the best place in the Faroe Islands to go hiking. Or, you can just drive around and snap tons of photos of this picturesque island.
Next is Vidoy, the northernmost island in the archipelago. Here we visited Vidareidi. The northern islands are more traditional, less modern but if you love taking photos of amazing scenery then you must visit Vidareidi.
Lastly we are heading to the Island of Mykines! We took a helicopter but you can also take a ferry. Once you arrive you need to hike about 90 minutes west to see all the sea birds. There are over a dozen species of birds like the Gannet, Fulmar, Starling, Gulls, Razorbills and the most famous that everyone comes to see are the Puffins! Be sure to bring a packed lunch, drinking water, a warm outfit, comfy shoes, and don’t forget your camera!

Faroe Islands / KIRKJUBØUR 2015 el regreso / the return
Una visita nostálgica a Kirkjubøur, el asentamiento histórico más importante de las Islas Feroe./// A nostalgic visit to Kirkjubøur, the most important historical site of the Faroe Islands.
Chapels, Church sites and Settlement in Medieval Faroe Islands
In the Faroes a group of sites has, because of their characteristics and associated placenames, been interpreted as medieval chapels - maybe even remains representing the early Christianisation process. But because of the lack of church archaeological investigations our knowledge of the Faroese Medieval church is quite limited. The paper will discuss the characterisation of the archaeological material at hand based on an ongoing project involving surveys and investigations of possible church ruins. In an attempt to understand these relics - their relation and function within the Medieval church in the Faroes - they will be placed in a settlement-historical as well as in a North Atlantic context.
