What To Expect
Gasadalur
We will journey through the three charming villages on Vágar Island and pass by the airport, en route to our initial destination. Our first stop on Vágar Island will be the enchanting village of Gásadalur, renowned for the stunning Múlafossur Waterfall, which offers one of the most iconic views in the Faroe Islands. The picturesque Gásadalur was notably serving as a backdrop in the Swedish film “The Birdcatcher’s Son” – a story inspired by a local folktale from the early 19th century. It wasn’t until 2006 that a tunnel through the mountain was constructed, allowing access Gásadalur by vehicle. Prior to this, residents had to traverse the mountain by foot for any errands outside of the village.
A picturestop to view the fantastic islet, Tindhólmur, as well as the sea stacks Drangarnir. Hear the guide tell the legend of Tindhólmur.
