- Kalsoy offers some of the most dramatic views on the Faroe Islands and it's one of the places I wanted to visit most during my trip there in August. Despite somewhat unlucky weather, we were not disappointed.

First island which is on my bucketlist
I'm from the Faroe Islands (live in Denmark now) and it's interesting seeing the islands from a foreigner’s point of view. It just gives me the heebie-jeepies seeing you so close to the edge!
Maybe that's because we are taught that everything in dangerous there... We are told to stop walking when in the mountains if there is fog, and that we should always follow the small stone piles one by one, if we could see them through the fog. If we can't see the next one, we should sit by one until the fog clears, and take it apart and build it up again multiple times, so as not to become too bored waiting. I don't know if you've noticed them - like little pyramids made out of rocks?
We were also often forbidden from going close to the water. If me and my brother were outside for too long, when visiting my grandparents, my grandmother used to smell our clothes to see if we had been close to the ocean. The interaction went something like this:
Grandmother: *sniff sniff* "You've been by the ocean!"
Me and my brother: "But we weren't that close to the water..."
Grandmother: "I don't care! I told you never to go close to the water, you will drown!!!"
Pretty funny when I think back on it. :)
Ha, thanks for sharing, it was an interesting read! Yes, I did notice the rock piles, but I had no clue what they are for, I figured they are just there to mark the way so that you don't get lost. But I guess so many people go there now that you don't need them anymore, the path is quite clear. Or so it was to me.
I also think that what your parents taught you makes sense. Although not there on Kalsoy, but I certainly did do a couple things on Faroes that in the hindsight I shouldn't have. It is a rough and unforgiving place, so double checking and triple checking everything is a wise thing to do. Death, after all, is often just a foot or two away there.
For those who wonder though - that place on Kalsoy past the lighthouse gave me creeps even before I went to Faroes. I really wanted an image from there but it looked so narrow. In reality though I found it quite safe. Just don't rush it and you'll be fine :)
@@SunsetObsession Yes, we don't really need them anymore. Mostly because the trails are pretty obvious now, as you said, and we don't really use the mountains in the same way they did in the past. People had to walk over the mountains when they went to other villages. They also had geese, sheep and cows that needed to be taken care of. They had to travel even in bad weather. Now people just wait until the weather is nice enough, because hiking is mostly done for fun now. :)
Yes, it's often pretty slippery, and sometimes the grass hangs over the cliff, so where it looks like there are rocks under, it's just turf which will fall off when it's stepped on. It's also not uncommon for parts of the edges to break off when stepped on.
In America, we never run with scissors. Having a gun is fine.
Wonderful place, excellent photography skills, thank you for sharing nice video 👌
We were here last month and the place was full of so snow, it was so beautiful! Also a big thanks for all the help of one of the island owners!
The scenery you have managed to capture for posterity is both beautiful and stunning! I am a VIKING - secretly - in my spare time. Please don't tell anyone because I am also a GIGGOLO at night and some of my 'clients' may not appreciate a few of the 'finer points' and details of what it actually takes to be a SUCCESSFUL VIKING! Lots of walking and sailing, exploring and conquering and - well, um - 'other things' of that type. 😁 😎 🤫 🤭
So very beautiful!!!Thank you.
Thank you, my pleasure!
Thx for this video. Beautiful islands and beautiful video :) Regards from Poland :D

Thanks for kind words! I'm very glad you found it useful - and enjoy your trip to the Faroes, you're gonna love it!
Amazing sir
Thank you sir!
Your video is such a great help. Can't wait to see the Streymoy and Eysturoy episodes! Please keep on man!
Thanks! The Streymoy and Eysturoy episode is in the works, just takes more time. But it's coming eventually :)
Such an amazing video!!! Great job. Regards from Spain
Hola Adrián y muchas gracias! :)
That’s very informative video on travel to Faroe Island. I’m thinking of going there in May or July but what’s the weather during that month? Seems like the hiking towards the tip of that mountain was nerve wracking but the views are heartbreaking. Reminds me of the place I visited last year which is the island of Batanes in the Philippines and I fell in love of the place. Faroe island to me is like a cold paradise and need to be one of the place to visit on everyone’s bucket lists. Thanks for the video and it’s worth watching it. From Florida, USA.
wow beautiful video and pictures! Your editing is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Would like to visit someday and maybe even live there!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, definitely a great place to visit, very beautiful. As for living there... I'd say visit first, then decide :)
Nice islands
01:09 is that Maruti Suzuki Swift?
Awesome video and adventure. How long did it take for the whole trip from arriving at the ferry to coming back?
If I recall correctly, it was around 7-8 hours. We didn't really rush it though.
@@SunsetObsession awesome, thanks so much
Thank you I am going in April 2020 so do you have more videos
Hey, you're going to love it! Unfortunately no, I don't have any more about the Faroes.
Hello I am going to Faroe this year.
Your video is so helpful to get some informations. How long does it take to get lighthouse from red gate?
Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful. It's not a very long hike. I think it took us about 45 minutes one way and we were not going super fast - making stops along the way to do photos and shoot video. It's also not very hard, so I'm sure you can do it faster if you want to.
Thank you so much!!
Does this hike cost a fee??
Hi, when I was there in 2017 it was absolutely free
Hey do they load the car for you? That space look so tight for 3 lanes of cars! It scares me taking a rental lol
Hey, no they don't, you drive it in yourself. They let the cars through one by one though and show you exactly where to park and to stop, so it's actually quite easy. Also, all cars in Faroes come with full insurance, or at least I was told so at the rental desk - might wanna double check with your provider, but really there's nothing to be scared! You'll love it :)
Just take extra insurance, drive carefully and avoid the company 62N and you’ll be ok
Very nice video and channel, like and subscribe!
The real truth about the Faroe Islands that you will never hear from main stream academia is that it is an ancient quarry used by the giants. Same giants as described in the bible.
