Hiking on Koltur Island

Hiking on Koltur Island Hiking on Koltur Island © D.R.

Koltur is an island that can only be discovered by foot. You can get there by helicopter or by boat, departing from Thorshavn. Only one family resides on the island, next to an old Faroese village. Visit the old stone houses, then climb the peak that rises 1564ft (this should take about an hour). On the other side of the mountain, the cliffs plunge abruptly into the sea and there are a lot of puffins. The panoramic view is one to cherish!
