Itinerary:

Day 1: Arrival. Welcome and dinner in Miðvágur at charming old style Hotel Magenta.

Day 2: Boarding the Jósup, for the mysterious island of Mykines. Because of its isolated situation it has always been a little more depopulated, so that currently only a dozen inhabitants live there permanently. In summer, however, a number of Faroese come to live in the village of their ancestors. Walk to see the puffin colony where sheep and puffin fight over grass slopes. Colonies of gannets, vertiginous cliffs and the view over the lighthouse at the end of the world. Nowhere else than on an island, such as Mykines one does feel as much the vastness of the ocean, its breathing and the curvature of the blue planet. (walk 3 hours) Dinner and night in Hotel Magenta.

Day 3: Trekking on Vágar island. In the morning we walk along the Lake abough the Ocean out to iconic Trælanípan. In the afternoon we will follow the old postal route across the mountain from Bøur to Gásadal with the astonishing view over Tindhólmur, Drangarnir, Mykines and Múlafossur. Dinner and night in private house in Tórshavn. Dinner and night at hotel Brandan in Tórshavn.

Day 4: Kallsoy. From Klaksvík we sail to the island of Kallsoy were we hike to the light house on the iconic site of Kallurin with astonishing views to all directions (2½ hours) We will also hear the story about the seal woman and visit the beautiful statue of her. Night in Hotel Brandan in Tórshavn.

Day 5: In the morning: Hike on the black sand of the Saksun lagoon to the open sea where we have lunch. In the afternoon we head back to the mountain following and old pass of antic cairns. Steep descent on the tiny village of Tjørnuvík, where there are tombs from the Viking age. Spectacular views of Sundini Sound, and the impressive reefs of Risin, "The Giant", and Kellingin, "The Witch". These two Icelandic trolls had the crazy idea of towing the Faroe Islands to Iceland. Fortunately and justly the first rays of the spring sun petrified them for eternity. (trek 6 hours) Night in Hotel Brandan in Tórshavn.

Day 6: Todays aim is the hamlet of Kirkjubøur, former cultural and religious center of the Faroe Islands, pre-reform episcopal residence. Visit the ruins of the Sct. Magnus cathedral and the imposing medieval tarred and grass roofed timber farm, representative of the traditional Norse habitat. Magnificent view of the islands of Sandoy, Hestur and Koltur. A last cairns path that runs through the nearby moor brings us back to Tórshavn. (2½ hours) Rest of the day on your own to enjoy all the charm of the small capital: Narrow streets and tiny tarred timber houses with multicolored doors and windows and grass roofs in the Tinganes district on the old fishing port of Tórshavn, the beautiful modern architecture that also uses traditional materials, local cafés, woolen shops and marine equipment. Dinner on your own in Tórshavn. Night in Hotel Brandan in Tórshavn.

Day 7: We take the bus to Hundsárabotnur where we start for the beautiful hike of Fyri Vestan (7 hours), to the west of Streymoy Island among the mountains with an immense view on the Island of Vágar. An interesting route geologically because one can observe the "Streymoyarsyllin" - a great volcanic intrusion (a dike) that splits and crosses the whole landscape.
