Overview
Oyndarfjørður is an exclusive expedition cruise destination nestled in a picturesque fjord on the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands. With a population of just over a hundred people, this small village offers a rare and intimate glimpse into authentic Faroese coastal life. As a port, it is reserved for smaller ships and limited to a few calls per year, ensuring that the peaceful atmosphere and pristine natural environment are preserved for all who visit.
A cruise stop in Oyndarfjørður is not about bustling city life, but about immersion in breathtaking nature and local traditions. The village is surrounded by towering mountains and tranquil waters, with its history and culture deeply intertwined with the sea. Here, you can experience a profound sense of peace and a connection to a community that maintains its ancient atmosphere.
The most famous landmark of Oyndarfjørður is the Rinkusteinar, or the Rocking Stones. These two massive boulders sit by the shoreline and, with the ebb and flow of the tide, gently rock back and forth. Local legend says that a sorceress cast a spell on two pirate ships, turning them into these perpetually moving stones. A visit to the village is not complete without seeing this natural phenomenon.
Tip: The stones are best viewed at high tide when the rocking motion is more pronounced.
Built in 1838, the historic Oyndarfjørður Church is one of the ten old timber churches still in use in the Faroe Islands. Its simple, elegant design and a striking altarpiece by the Danish painter C.W. Eckersberg make it a beautiful and peaceful place to visit, offering a window into the village's spiritual past.
Tip: Take a moment to appreciate the church's unique architecture and its tranquil seaside location.
For those who love to hike, a scenic coastal path connects Oyndarfjørður with the neighboring village of Hellurnar. The trail is a manageable walk that offers spectacular views of the fjord, the surrounding mountains, and the rugged Faroese landscape. It is a fantastic way to experience the area's natural beauty firsthand.
Tip: Bring waterproof clothing and sturdy hiking shoes, as the weather in the Faroe Islands can change quickly.
Take a leisurely stroll through the village itself. You'll find traditional Faroese boat houses perched along the shoreline, once used by fishermen. The quaint settlement, with its beautiful blend of old and new, offers a peaceful atmosphere and an authentic glimpse into the daily life of this remote community.
Tip: Keep an eye out for a local who might be willing to share stories about the village's history and its connection to the sea.
Oyndarfjørður is an active community with a strong connection to the sea, particularly aquaculture. From the shoreline, you can often see the salmon pens and the boats used for this important Faroese industry. It's a chance to see how the locals sustain themselves in this rugged environment.
Tip: The local economy is very focused on its fishing heritage; consider asking your guide about the importance of these industries.
The natural surroundings are the star of the show in Oyndarfjørður. The village is situated in a broad valley with tall, dramatic mountains on either side. Take time to simply stand by the shore, breathe in the fresh sea air, and enjoy the breathtaking views that define the unique beauty of the Faroe Islands.
Tip: Look for local birds and other wildlife, as the area is rich in natural wonders.
