Discover Koltur, the Faroe Islands’ first nature reserve, combining unique landscapes and a vital research station.

The beautiful island of Koltur is a perfect site for the first nature reserve in the Faroes. It has unique landscape features and diverse habitats with many species. Few non-native and invasive species are present so far. Due to its isolated status, Koltur has been protected against the more industrial part of human endeavours. It gives a good impression of how Faroese people have lived in these remote islands throughout history and how they have used and shaped their surroundings. Now, the time has come to ensure that the Faroese nature is protected and restored, so that future generations can enjoy it.
