The ravine, which has given the village its name, lies at the northern most part of the village. Stairs lead down to the sea landing area. Walking next to the ravine outwards, you will be able to see sea parrots nesting in the edge of the cliffside. On the outmost part of below, at “Niðara Nasa” a bench is set up to commemorate when the Danish Crown Prince visited Gjógv in 2005. The bench is called Mary’s bench.

To sit on Mary’s bench and view the ocean is an unforgettable experience – Good summer moments or winter days when nature shows its might and the north ocean waves strikes the rocky beach side.

WC (Public Toilets)
Public toilets are available at Gjónna. Also, east of the village, close to the Church are additional public toilets, which are intended for those, who are using the camp sight area. Public toilets, which people with disabilities or special needs require, are always open for those who need them.

Accessible trips give those who find walks to the mountain tops, or trips following the different cairn tracks, challenging a unique chance to enjoy the Faroese nature. These trips need to be planned in advance by looking carefully at the photos and the map on this website.

Have a pleasant trip and remember to check the weather forecast in advance.
