Exploring the Faroe Islands: Northern Isles
“The remotest place on Earth can sometimes be the most attractive place on Earth especially in times when our belief in humanity is lost!” ~
It has been two months since we returned from the Faroe Islands, and people are still asking me “why did you pick that place?” I keep coming back to the same answer: because it was so remote and so different from anything we’ve ever seen. The last few days of our trip were the most remote of all, as we traveled across the large island of Eysturoy to the smaller northern islands of Borðoy, Viðoy, and Kunoy.
Exploring the Faroe Islands: Streymoy

We went to the Faroe Islands to hike, but the scenic drives just kept beckoning us, especially on the island of Streymoy. As the largest island in the Faroes, Streymoy had plenty of roads to explore with charming villages along the route. In my previous post, I shared our experiences in Streymoy’s southern region. This post will take us through the rest of that island, from sleepy little beaches to remote villages with friendly waffle makers.
