Gjogv

Travel Guide

The village of Gjogv sits right on the coast of Eysturoy, with a small gorge nearby and imposing flat-topped mountains in the distance.
Hello from the Far (oe) away island 🙃 #visitfaroeislands #thegreatnorthcollective
The tiny town of Gjógv is the most northern village on the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands. Its name actually just means "gorge," and there is indeed a nice little gorge here leading out to the sea. Gjógv also has a guesthouse and some nice hiking trails, and is only about an hour's drive from Torshavn.
The Faroe Islands are home to massive gannet and puffin colonies. Most travelers hike up cliffs or take boat tours to observe these birds. We had a chance encounter with puffins up on Ambadalur Valley in Gjógv. Read about four amazing hikes in Faroe Islands through the #linkinbio 👆🏽
Take the sheep trail on the west side of town to get this view. (We still can't believe this isn't a movie set.) IT'S REAL LIFE PEOPLE.

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” – Pico Iyer • • • • • • • • Each time either of us gave up in the middle of a hike or felt remorse about poor weather conditions, a look at our surroundings inspired us to take the next step. That's life lessons right there. And that's what makes us love travel. Has travel taught you something that you apply to your life?
