Elduvík
A quiet village of turf-roofed houses along both banks of a stream, considered one of the most beautiful villages in the Faroe Islands.
Elduvík lies at the head of a fjord in the northeast of Eysturoy. A small stream divides the village into eastern and western halves. Black wooden houses, turf roofs, and a small chapel line the stream, with steep slopes behind and views toward Kalsoy, creating a serene, picturesque scene. Only a few residents live here, and there are no shops. It is about 10 minutes down a single-lane road from the main road, making it a good stop on a self-drive tour around Eysturoy.
