Hiking Trips

Hiking trips are popular and can be recommended in Suðuroy. Beware of fog and make preparations before you go. A mountain can end very suddenly and without any warning sign. There are many cairns in Suðuroy, they were used instead of roads in the old days. There are also guided hiking trips, which the Tourist Information or private persons arrange. Ask on one of the Tourist Information Centres for when and where these guided trips are made. More info on the website: www.visitsuduroy.fo.

Hvannhagi is situated north east of Tvøroyri. One can only reach Hvannhagi by feet or boat. The hiking trip is a great experience, beautiful nature with high mountains around and a lake in a valley in Hvannhagi, great view to Lítli Dímun, and the smallest of the island in the Faroes. The path to Hvannhagi starts above the town, above the hospital towards east. A sign shows you where the path starts. Follow the cairns, but keep the direction towars east, the path splits into two, the left one takes you to Hvalba and the right one takes you to Hvannhagi. You can also ask for directions on the Tourist Information or ask for a guided trip. The price is 200 kr if you need a guide. The first part of the trip is easy, until you reach the gate to Hvannhagi, there it starts to get difficult for those who aren't reasonably fit. But even if you only walk to the gate to Hvannhagi, it is worth the effort, there you get a fantastic view to the small island Lítli Dímun and feel the peacefulness.

Boat Trips

There are two fast going boats (RIB), which make boat trips along the west coast of Suðuroy or wherever you wish to go. If you are a group it is cheaper, if it is a planned trip the price is around 350 kr. The boats are called Tornado, website: http://www.rib62.com/ and Scorpion, website: http://www.vagur.com/scorpion/UK/index_uk.html.

Stay safe

In case of emergency dial 112.

Be aware that sheep can be on the street, black sheep are hard to spot at night! The mountains on the west coast are very steep and suddenly they end and go straight down to the ocean without warning. Stay away from cliff edges which may collapse. Like elsewhere in the Faroes, fog can come quite suddenly, obscuring cliff edges.
