Múlafossur Waterfall (Gásadalur)
Múlafossur
A waterfall plunging straight from the cliffs into the sea, with the small grass-roofed village of Gásadalur behind it. It is the Faroe Islands’ most classic postcard view.
Múlafossur is located in the village of Gásadalur at the western tip of Vágar. Its stream drops about 60 metres from the cliff edge directly into the North Atlantic. The isolated village and steep mountain peaks frame the scene, making it the most representative view of the Faroe Islands. Before the tunnel opened in 2004, villagers could only reach the outside world by climbing over the mountains or by boat. The viewpoint is about a five-minute walk from the car park, and admission is free. Vágar Airport is only about a 15-minute drive away. On windy days, stay well away from the cliff edge.
