NATURALLY BREATHTAKING

Vágar, together with Mykines, is geographically the westernmost part of the Faroe Islands. The island has a broad variety of possibilities to explore the nature and its beauty. The attractions on Vágar are perhaps the best in the Faroe Islands. The country's two largest lakes – Sørvágsvatn and Fjallavatn – are to be found here. Here, as well as all around the Faroe Islands, landscape painting is very popular, first and foremost because of the nature, but more importantly be cause of the unique play of the colours of the water, air and nature. Travelling on your own, there is plenty to see in the amazing natural surroundings of Vágar. Walking trips are safe on the old paths, but other arranged trips are also an opportunity. Vágar is the best place for horsebackriding and diving. In the middle of the sixth century, the Irish monk, St. Brend an, described Mykines as the mysterious »paradise of birds«. Still today one can not describe Mykines better. During the summer months, Mykines is the home of thousands upon thousands of migratory sea birds. The most plentiful resident of Mykines in the summer is the puffin. This little creature is one of the main attractions for visitors. Its brightly coloured beak and its willingness to re main posed with fish in its beak, makes the puffin the ideal photo opportunity for any budding ornithologist.
