In the summer, visitors with an interest in birds will have the pleasure of seeing and hearing a wide variety of birds such as the gold-crest (Títlingskongur in Faroese), which is the smallest bird in Europe, the white wagtail (Erla Kongsdóttir), the great skua (Skúgvur) and many other birds that nest in the mountains. During the winter when the days are shorter, the scenery transforms into an arctic tundra with almost total silence and even the small possibility of seeing the aurora borealis. A night-walk in the snow during the winter season is an unforgettable experience and grants photo-enthusiasts the perfect opportunity to capture beautiful long-time exposure pictures. It's possible to extend the hike to 20 kilometers if you are fit and want to see more of the southern part of the island; always starting and ending in the same place. Whatever your age, we think this hike is for you. Add it to your plan by selecting either the morning or evening tour.

Beautifully covered in its green cape it spreads over the north end of the island. Only one rock can be seen on the grassy slopes. A rock that has its own place in the history of the Faroe Islands. The rock is called Tróndarsteinur.

About 100 m from Tróndarsteinur you can find the remains of a little bothy. A spring with delicious clean drinking water runs just outside the bothy.
