There are no public wilderness or common areas in the Faroes, and cycling elsewhere than on the road is prohibited. All land is privately owned and public access, therefore, limited. Conservation of the fragile soil is very important, especially on the mountain trails where erosion is closely monitored. The roads are often steep and good brakes are an absolute necessity. Cycling in some of the longer tunnels where ventilation is poor is not recommended. Some tunnels are narrow with few passing places, making cycling hazardous. The inter-village buses, however, can often accommodate bicycles for easy transit in hazardous areas. Please contact the local Tourist Information for a booklet with descriptions of cycling routes.
