Leynavatn - Guide to Faroe Islands

Lake Leynavatn Travel Guide

By Verified Expert

Leynavatn is a beautiful lake on Streymoy island in the untouched Faroe Islands. The lake is easy to reach by car and going for a walk around the lake will let you enjoy nature first hand.

You will find Lake Leynavatn next to the road when heading out from the Vágatunnilin sub-sea tunnel from Vágar island to Streymoy island. Home to salmon and trout, this is one of the best location for sports fishing in the Faroe Islands.

The Michelin restaurant KOKS had its base beside the lake in quiet surroundings. You will find the sod-roofed buildings where the restaurant was located in the quaint valley at the end of Lake Leynavatn.

KOKS closed its doors in the Faroe Islands in 2021. Going for a walk to the area where KOKS was located is great activity. Bring a packed lunch and enjoy it in the surroundings where the restaurant served the best produce in the archipelago.
