FAROESE CULTURAL EVENING
In Dalur, you can experience the Faroese Cultural Evening, hosted by the Dalbingar. The cultural evening is a popular event for groups of 12 – 50 people. During it, you can try Faroese food, learn about Faroese culture, see how the Dalbingar work the wool while they sing Faroese songs and tell Faroese tales, and join them in a Faroese chain dance.

DALUR CAMPING
Near the house Eiriksgarður, you’ll find the camping area. It is beautifully located and well-equipped. It is also next to a soccer field.

THE MILL
In the village, you’ll also find an old mill, which is owned by the National Museum of the Faroe Islands.

MØLIN IN DALUR AND MALAGRÓT
The seaside in Dalur is beautiful, and there you’ll find a beach covered in pebbles (Mølin, in Faroese) and water-rolled stones (Malagrót, in Faroese). Many visit the seaside to hear the unique sound of the ocean, which meets the water-rolled stones. We invite you to enjoy the tranquillity and the fresh air, and please remember that it is not allowed to take pebbles and stones from this area because the rocks protect the village from the heavy surf during winter.

HIKES
You can follow the old peat path southwards on the Dalur mountains, which has a scenic view to the south and west. You can also walk the old village path between Dalur and Skarvanes, rebuilt and marked in 2019 as a part of the Closed For Maintenance: Open for Voluntourism project. You’ll find the sign that describes the path on your right-hand side when walking on the winding farmer's road from Dalur towards the mountains, and close to the sign, you will see the first blue pole for you to follow. The path is marked with cairns, blue poles, and blue ladders that allow you to cross the fences without bending them.

THE CHURCH
The church in Dalur is among the younger churches in the Faroe Islands. It was inaugurated in 1957 and is made from timber. The Danish artist Ernst Trier painted the altarpiece, inaugurated in 1961. The altarpiece depicts the Last Supper, and in 1961, it was considered a modern piece. The lamps in the church are originally from the Faroese Parliament.
