Description


A small town on the southern end of Streymoy which houses the ruins of the first Cathedral to be built (or at least started to be built) on the islands. The small fishing town is particularly pretty and in a very quiet spot (but difficult to get to!)

Charge




Getting There

There are irregular busses from Tórshavn, which have to be booked in advance. Alternatively you can catch the bus to Gamlarætt (same bus, runs without needing to be booked) and walk up from the harbour there (about 3KM). For the fit and healthy there is a pleasant walk up over the hills from Tórshavn, check guide books or walking tour books in the Tourist Information Centre for details. N.B. the 7KM/2 Hour advertised length is from the start of the path about a 35 minute walk out of Tórshavn.
