Would you like to visit Faroe Islands ?
The fog-laced Faroe Islands, in the north Atlantic Ocean, sit like scattered jigsaw pieces between Iceland, Norway and Scotland. Part of the Kingdom of Denmark, complete with colourful Danish-style villages, the islands are magical landscapes where you can spot sheep and even puffins on the hiking trails.

Steep cliffs, awe-inspiring mountains leaning above the wild ocean, long-stretching fjords and picturesque villages made of little homes with grass roofs (which are mowed by sheep) comprise the spectacular landscape of the Faroe Islands.

The Faroe Islands has been a self-governing country within the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948, but it is said that the first people to have inhabited the islands were Irish Monks and Vikings from Norway. Although the Scandinavian culture is still apparent throughout the centuries, Faroese developed their own traditions and habits. Nature has played a great role in the formation of local culture. With every place being no further than five kilometres from the ocean and the element of water being ever-present, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Faroese are known for their exquisite fishing skills. The Faroe Islands has a strong fishing industry that produces most of the country’s income ever since the late 19th century.

The Faroe Islands is like paradise for nature lovers. The rich flora and fauna found both on the seabed and on land will charm even the most demanding travellers. Grass hills unfurling as far as the eye can see invite hiking lovers to follow the trails and be rewarded with a spectacular view from the highest point.

The island’s fauna is impressive and those who will visit the Faroe Islands will have the chance to witness some of the most extraordinary creatures in their natural habitat, both up in the sky and in the depths of the ocean. Migrating birds often fly over the North Atlantic Ocean. Around 300 different bird species have been spotted at Faroe island, 200 of which are rare migrants and new birds.
