“There are sheep beside the road, in paddocks in the capital, on the mountains and in the valleys and along the shelving precipices of the cliffs 🐑 🐑 Sometimes you even meet them in the car park at the airport.”
... and yes - they are also used as lawnmowers 😍 Has any of you seen them in action on a turf roof?

I don't know how many pictures I took of the hike to Drangarnir, but it was a crazy amount! At the beginning our guide was pretty happy and expected the hike wouldn’t take that long, because we were walking really fast.
But then everything there was so amazing and I was falling in love with the nature! In my opinion we didn't spend that much time, but we photographed nearly everything there!

Majestic Sea Stacks adorn our rugged shoreline and you don’t have to travel far to experience the coast. In fact, no point in the Faroe Islands is further than 5km (3 miles) from the sea 🌊
PS: Be mindful of the weather when hiking in our nature. It can shift from quiet to storm in a matter of minutes, so dress in layers and prepare for all seasons in one day ⛈️🌀☀️

Exciting times in Elduvík
Many of you might have heard of the Seal Woman, but did you know that the Faroe Islands also have their very own Merman? And that he stems from the very town of Elduvík where we had a Remote Tour earlier this week?
With a population of only 12 people you might be tempted to think of Elduvík as a sleepy town – but guess again. Since 2016 a local committee has worked towards preserving the legend about the Merman.
The Merman looks like a human but is smaller and has long fingers. He lives on the bottom of the sea and spends his time teasing fishermen at sea.
A statue of the Merman is just about ready to put up, so remember to give him a visit when it again becomes possible to visit the Faroe Islands.

The Faroe Islands are like heaven! Every couple of kilometers you will see some houses with grass roofs, or other amazing cabins.
We stayed in the Faroe Islands for two weeks and we explored them together with our three children Agnese, Frida and Arturo. We fully embraced freedom and adventure, totally immersed in the nature. They are an absolutely kid friendly destination!

Hey everyone, @el.picko here.
If you’re lucky you may come across a highland cow in the Faroe Islands. They are unmistakably photogenic and generally very friendly. This young highland was definitely not shy and knew exactly what to do in front of the camera.
We are located only 2-3 hours flight time from mainland Europe and have direct flights from various destinations depending on the season.
Start your journey on board the ferry, M/S Norröna – you’ll feel you’re on holiday as soon as you have the water beneath you. Direct link from Iceland and Denmark to the Faroe Islands
One of the many special features of the Faroe Islands is that you don’t have to go far to experience magnificent hiking routes and raw nature. Look around you. Take a few steps. Take a deep breath and listen. It’s all right there!
Although the Faroe Islands are one of the safest countries in the world, travelling in the Faroe Islands might be different to what you are used to. It is important you are well aware of things like weather extremes, narrow, windy roads and different road rules before you begin your journey.
