Vágar, together with Mykines, is geographically the westernmost part of the Faroe Islands. The island has a broad variety of possibilities to explore the nature and its beauty. The attractions on Vágar are perhaps the best in the Faroe Islands. The country's two largest lakes – Sørvágsvatn and Fjallavatn – are to be found here. Here, as well as all around the Faroe Islands, landscape painting is very popular, first and foremost because of the nature, but more importantly be cause of the unique play of the colours of the water, air and nature. Travelling on your own, there is plenty to see in the amazing natural surroundings of Vágar. Walking trips are safe on the old paths, but other arranged trips are also an opportunity. Vágar is the best place for horsebackriding and diving.
