Lake Toftavatn

On our second day in the Faroe Islands, we woke up early and headed out to explore more of the stunning landscape. Our destination was Toftavatn, a small lake nestled in the hills just outside of Tórshavn.

The drive to the lake was stunning, with breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and rolling green hills. When we arrived, we were greeted by a herd of curious sheep, who seemed just as interested in us as we were in them.

We spent the morning exploring the area around the lake, taking photos of the stunning views and the various shades of green that surrounded us. The weather was typically unpredictable, with sun, wind, and rain all making appearances throughout the morning.

As we were taking photos, one of the sheep suddenly charged towards us, bleating loudly. We quickly realized that it was best to give the sheep some space and moved away to a safe distance.

After a few hours at Toftavatn, we headed back towards Tórshavn. We decided to take the undersea tunnel back to the hotel, which was a unique experience in and of itself. The tunnel connects the island of Streymoy with the island of Eysturoy and is the second-longest underwater tunnel in the world.

We arrived back at the hotel in the early afternoon, feeling tired but exhilarated from our morning adventure.Read more
