Lake Vatndalsvatn

Talking about the best lakes to visit in Faroe Islands, lake Vatndalsvatn is not to be missed. The Faroe Islands include a variety of lake shapes. You may see a breathtaking heart-shaped nature sign in Lake Vatndalsvatn. It is perfect for a passionate mountain hike. The lake, which is situated above the community of Bøur, is the third-largest on the island of Vágar. The area around it is among the most stunning in the nation. Lake char, brown trout, sea trout, sea char, and the sporadic salmon make up the catch. A short distance away, the Hotel Flokalundur offers lodging options. Brianslaekur also has camping areas. The sagas mention the bay Vopnafiord, where one of the nation's discoverers, Raven-Floki, landed and gave the nation its current name.


You must trek up the mountain Eindalsfjall, following the river Breiðá, to get to the attraction. Although the ascent is hard, it is totally worthwhile. The hike to the lake lasts around an hour. You will enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the west coast of Vágar, including Tindhólmur islet and Mykines island, as you arrive at the lake. Vatnsdalsvatn appears to be totally heart-shaped on the map, but over time, the coast around it has taken on a somewhat different shape. Because of this, it's perfect for a romantic hike, and many couples have taken pictures with the heart-shaped lake as the backdrop. But don't forget to look around you, for from the same place you may capture the image of the heart-shaped lake and enjoy a stunning panoramic view.
