Gjógv
A colorful village whose harbor is a natural sea channel, with 200-meter-long gorge walls rising steeply on both sides.
Gjógv lies at the northern tip of Eysturoy. Its name means "gorge" and comes from a narrow sea-carved gorge about 200 meters long beside the village. Fishermen built steps and slipways inside the gorge to create a natural shelter for their boats. Colorful wooden houses, turf-roofed homes, and a small chapel are scattered through the village, and a path along the gorge edge offers views of waves crashing against the cliffs. It is about an hour's drive from Tórshavn, along one of the northernmost mountain roads in the world. Admission is free, and in summer the village has a guesthouse and a café.
