The picturesque Klaksvík with its approximately 5,000 inhabitants, is the second largest city in the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic. The town lies on the island Borðoy, on a beautiful fjord. The territory of the present-day city was, so prove archaeological finds, already settled by the Vikings.
Cruise offers to the port Klaksvik, Faröer-Islands / Denmark
If you want to take a trip to the forest in southeast of Klaksvík, you can marvel on a nearby meadow at some foundations from the first settlement by the Vikings. The charming town itself is best explored on a leisure stroll. Visit the interior of the Christian church in Klaksvík built in 1963. Pay particular attention to the 400-year-old baptismal font, which was once used as a sacrificial basin for pagan rituals. Worthwhile is also a visit to the museum of the city, housed in a former trading house from the 19th century. Then you return to the Roykstovan '("smokehouse") and taste of the famous draft beer, Føroya Bjor', which is brewed here in Klaksvík.
