Vágar Essentials

Vágar contains some of the Faroe Islands' most recognizable natural landmarks. The island is defined by Sørvágsvatn, a lake that appears to hover above the Atlantic Ocean, and the 30-meter Múlafossur waterfall which drops directly into the sea from the village of Gásadalur. Geologic features include the Trælanípa "Slave Cliff" and the 313-meter Trøllkonufingur sea stack. The red-roofed Sandavágs kirkja, built in 1917, houses a 13th-century runestone, providing historical context to the island's dramatic coastal scenery.
