Good memories for me , i really want to visit Faroe again. Did you climb on Klakkur pike? Near Klasvik. The view is absolutely stunning, the best in the Archipel with Sornfelli i think Ty for your video ;)
Nice video. The surroundings remind a lot about west Norway. Have they talked about the Viking heritage a lot since they are supposed to be closest to the culture still to this day? Is it any apparent apart from the graveyard shown here? What month did you visit and what was the weather like? Are there any pubs or nightlife in Torshavn?
Thank you! We agree, it definitely has its similarities with West Norway. It is still a very remote country and there are not very many tourist facilities to learn about the country’s Viking history. We visited in August and the weather was moody but that was part of its charm - it was between 8-15 degrees Celsius. There was actually a really busy nightlife scene in Tórshavn on the weekend!
What was it like for prices? I’ve done Norway and Iceland and they were brutal on the wallet, so my guess is this would be similar, if not worse? And what’s it like getting between the islands, especially if you’re not part of any organised trip?
Getting between most islands are easy by car, they have underground tunnels connecting many of the islands. The only ferry we got was to Kalsoy. We found accommodation, flights and car hire to be reasonable. All sights were free, or there was a small hiking fee. Food was expensive, but not dissimilar to Australian prices ☺️
It’s cheap getting between the islands, because transportation is heavily subsidized by the government. You can even book a cheap helicopter ride between some islands, because that too is subsidized. For example, you can take a helicopter ride from Tórshavn to Klaksvík for 645 DKK (~$94). Only the subsea tunnels cost money to drive through, all other roads and tunnels are free. The ferry from Tórshavn to Suðuroy, which takes around 2 hours, costs 80 DKK (~$12), and is the most expensive ferry as far as I know.
It could also be because “får” is the Danish word for sheep. But the old Irish word for the Faroes is fearann - the Irish settled the islands first before the Norse. One theory is that when the Norse arrived they dropped the “ann” part and added the “oyar” part (which just means islands).
Absolute Gem of a video. Keep posting such a wonderful videos of nature.

Great info! @@Lemonz1989
“Faroe” does not mean sheep. “Seyður” is Faroese for sheep.
Thank you for the information! We did say the name comes from the word for sheep in Old Norse, rather than Faroese ☺️
They used old west Norse in the Faroes (the same as in Iceland and Norway), the word for sheep in old west Norse is “sauðr”.
Sure, well we understood it to be derived from faer. If you have other theories on the name Faroe, we are interested!
It could also be because “får” is the Danish word for sheep. But the old Irish word for the Faroes is fearann - the Irish settled the islands first before the Norse. One theory is that when the Norse arrived they dropped the “ann” part and added the “oyar” part (which just means islands).
