Standing on the Sornfelli mountain plateau, close to the edge, clouds within reach, viewing direction northwestwards. The contours of Vágar on the left, winding Vestmannasund in the middle and, pinhead-sized, the village of Kvívík just behind the rutted mountain beauty Skælingsfjall (on the right). How to get here? Drive along Oyggjarvegur, the old mountain road on Streymoy, and follow the narrow serpentines up to the plateau. Truly a marvelous spot! Seasonal advice: Beware of icy conditions, slippery sections and falling rocks on Oyggjarvegur. The other side of the coin: Winter weather can also be great fun up here, like at the turn of the year, when people actually brought sleds and skis.
