Vágar

Faroe Islands

Short description of Vágar

Vágar is the island where the airport lies, and it holds the two sights that made the Faroe Islands famous online. At Gásadalur the Múlafossur waterfall drops straight off a green cliff into the sea, with the village huddled on the slope behind. On the other side of the island the lake Sørvágsvatn seems to hang above the ocean when seen from the cliff of Trælanípa, a walk that crosses private land and carries a fee. The sea stacks of Drangarnir stand off the southwest tip. Sørvágur is also where the ferry to Mykines leaves.
