Encyclopedia > Borðoy

Borðoy is an island in the north-east of the Faroe Islands. There are eight settlements: Klaksvík (the second largest town in the Faroes), Norðyri, Anir, Árnafjørður, Strond, Norðtoftir, Depil and Norðdepil. There are also three abandoned settlements: Skálatoftir, Múli and Fossá, all in the north. Múli was one of the remotest settlements in the Faroes - there was no road link until 1989, before which good had to be brought in via helicopter or boat. The last people left in 1994. A Klaksvík museum brought the Fossá area in 1969 with the plan of turning it into a typical Faroese Medieval village, though the plan never came to fruition. There are five mountains on Borðoy: Lokki (755 m), Háfjall (647 m), Borðoyarnes (392 m), Depilsknúkur (680 m) and Hálgafelli (503 m). Klaksvik is the second largest town of the Faroe Islands. ...
