Reaching remoteness

The old postal route starts in Hvannasund, where you board the ferry. The first stop is the peaceful and picturesque island of Svínoy, where you’ll find a unique memorial known as “the Drop”. The next stop is Fugloy, which is rich in history and myths. Kirkja is the main village on the island and has the only shop. Finally, the ferry reaches Hattarvík, the easternmost corner of the Faroes.

It is possible to hop on and hop off along the route, but weather conditions, infrequent ferry schedules and limited housing and shopping options require planning ahead of time.
