Trælanípa is a perpendicular rock wall, which juts 142 meters upwards out of the sea.

Trælanípa is a perpendicular rock wall, which juts 142 meters upwards out of the sea. Trælanípa translates to Slave Cliff.
Supposedly, it has gotten its name from the Viking Age when old and sick slaves were pushed off the mountain.
Depending on the weather you can see the southernmost part of Streymoy, Hestur, Koltur, Sandoy, Skúvoy and Suðuroy from here.
And don’t forget the viewpoint for the optical illusion where the lake Leitisvatn/Sørvágsvatn looks like it is floating high above the sea – the lake above the ocean.
Be careful not to get too close to the edge as it is steep!

At the end of the lake you can find the waterfall Bøsdalafossur (30 m) flowing directly into the Atlantic Ocean.
Geituskoradrangur is the beautiful sea stack that can be seen from the same view-point of Bøsdalafossur.
