Another wonderful way to see the landscape of the Faroe islands is on the horse.A variety of riding trips are offered, allowing to be immersed in nature while you know the ferrous horse.The railways have their own special breed of horses that was almost missing.In the 1960s, only a stallion and four rabbits remained, but a breeding program implemented by the locals increased this number since 74, although there are 400 horses that wandered the island, some of which have a ferrous blood, but were raised with horses from other nations.While Berg Hestar offers Icelandic horse riding tours, riding Davidsen Hestar offers tours that use rare ferocious horses.
Apart from wondering those attractive scenes, leaving and exploring on foot is an excellent way to discover more fabulous views in every corner.Only a short trip can bring you to views that overlook the peaks that lower the jaw in one direction and on the dizzying of the sea in the other.The three -hour hiking to Trelanípa, or "Slavic's Rock", where the lake and the ocean meet, is absolutely epic, with dramatic rocks, waterfall and lake that looks as if floating above the sea.

If you like beautiful birds and landscapes, make sure you take a boat trip on the rocks and poultry caves.One of the most popular trips on the islands, by boat you will get the best perspective of narrow straits, deep caves and almost 2,300 meters of height, which rises directly from the sea.The rocks and caves serve as a safe nesting place for the thousands of sea birds that are here in the summer months.The bird eggs have been considered a long -time delicacy by the Fero, the locals climb the rocks to collect them, although it is not as common now as in the past years.
Only a few of the species of birds that arrive in Feroe to reproduce each year include Pufin, Gani, Guilemote, Kittiwakes, Fulmars and storm party.The adorable puffin is the summer star, and the reason to go from early May to early September.There can be no better place to see more species of bird than on Mykines, the most western island of the archipelago with steep rocks, ideal for nesting sea birds.Make the hiking from the village to the lighthouse, about three hours in each road, for an amazing view over the ocean, as well as for an incredible view of the birds.
The village of Saksun is on the northwest coast of Streymoy and offers a perfect post for postcards for a picnic.Stop at one of the local supermarkets to provide a beautiful lunch and then find an idyllic, grassy place, just above the city, to see the black-sanded lagoon and the caps houses.If the sea is low, you can even walk the lagoon.
The northernmost village on Eysturoy Island, Gjógv was named after the long, over 650 meters, full of sea, flowing from the village to Atlantic - in the ferrous, "Gjógv" is literally translated into the defile.With a population of less than 50 years, this beautiful quiet village, with spectacular views on the sea, and mountains on almost all parts, is scored with old cottages with lawn roof and timber walls.When you see the gorge, you can make one of the two paths that stretch to the sea, for photos from different angles - the right path will take you to Bănca Maria, named after the Danish Crown Princess, who visited the village with Crown Prince Frederik in 2006.
The best part of the visit of the Frooe islands is the incredibly amazing landscape, which means that one of your top things on your list should be nothing but relax and take everything inside.An amazing visual place with its green mountains.Distged by crushed sheep, fjords, waterfalls and colored villages - the views are absolutely dead.This archipelago improves all the clicks about beauty and nature that you have ever heard and then on some.
This land with peaks injured by the mountain, which are often embedded in the fog similar to the British islands, is quite north that visitors can see the blinding lights of Aurora Borealis, if the weather cooperates.It all depends on the fact that the fog is clarified, along with a few other factors, but with a little luck on your part, you can witness this remarkable phenomenon.The best odds are generally from November to February, although the climate and temperature generally are much more moderate than you expect for its high latitude.
