Our journey begins in Tórshavn, where we embark on a scenic drive along the old mountain road. Along the way, we pass by the national jail of the Faroe Islands, which has one of the most stunning views in the world. Our first photo stop is Sornfelli, offering a breathtaking view of the west island of Vágar. We then proceed past an old whaling station built by Norwegians around 1905.
