Kallur Lighthouse (Kalsoy)

Kallur

A white lighthouse on the cliffs at the northern tip of Kalsoy, with a knife-edge ridge running beside it. It is one of the most popular hiking photo spots in the Faroe Islands.

Kallur Lighthouse stands on the cliffs beyond the village of Tróllanes at the northernmost point of Kalsoy. The ridges on either side drop almost vertically to the sea, and the lighthouse stands alone on top, creating a stunning scene. The location also became famous as a filming site for No Time to Die. From Klaksvík, a ferry takes about 20 minutes to reach Kalsoy. From there, you drive through several single-lane tunnels to the village entrance. The round-trip hike takes about 1.5–2 hours. The trail crosses private land, so a paid ticket is required. There are no railings at the cliff edge, so skip the hike on foggy or windy days.
