The Faroe Islands is a very very very beautiful country! The green nature, the mountains, the small villages ect.

The Faroe Islands are an island group consisting of eighteen islands off the coast of Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, roughly equidistant between Iceland, Scotland, and Norway.

Faroe Islands (Føroyar) means "Sheep Islands".

The national holiday, Ólavsøka, is on the 29 July, commemorating the death of Saint Olaf. The celebrations are held in Tórshavn. They commence on the evening of the 28th, and carry on until the 31 July.

The 27 July there is a concert where faroese artist play, and sometimes artists from other counties.

The weekend before Ólavsøka, there is a festival called 'G! Festival' in a village called Gøta. It's a great festival! Artists like Natasha Bedingfield, Europe, Guillemots, Young Dubliners, Lisa Ekdahl, Beth Hart and many others have played there.

The weekend after Ólavsøka there is a festival called 'Summar Festival' in Klaksvík. It's more like a family festival, and it's also a great festival. Artists like Brian McFadden, Scorpions, Amy Diamond, The Rasmus and others have played there.

Eivør Pálsdóttir is one of the best artist at the Faroe Islands. She is well known in Iceland, Norway, Denmark and other places. Teitur Lassen, Týr and Lena Anderssen are also known other palces in the world. And ofcourse other artits too!

Mountain Hiking in the Faroes - Gráfelli 857 m: Grafelli Travel Photos
posted by:
Jun 05, 2007
5. juni 2007 - a public half-day-off from work. The weather was grrrrreat! I went with both my sisters and their husbands, 2 nephews and one of my brothers up the mountain of "Gráfelli" on the island of "Eysturoy". Gráfelli is the second highest mountain on the Faroes - but still only 857 m high. The hike started at appr. 150 m above sealevel. I think one of my best days on the Faroes this summer.
