known for its dramatic landscape and church situated on top of the isthmus

Surrounding Eiði are two of the most visited attractions in the Faroe Islands – the Giant and the witch and Slættaratindur. The Giants are two sea stacks north of Eiði, the legend says, that they were supposed to drag the Faroe Islands closer to Iceland. Slættaratindur is the highest mountain in the country (880) and on a clear day, the view is spectacular and you can see across the islands.
In Eiði is it also possible to visit the local museum, which is the oldest building in town called Látrið (from approx. 1840). Further, there are buildings from Second World War on the top of Eiðiskollur who were used as watchtower during the war.
