Mjørkadalur Prison Travel Guide

By Verified Expert

Mjørkadalur Prison might be the only jail in the world with grass roof. This is the only place for prisoners to stay in the Faroe Islands.

Situated on Streymoy Island in the middle of nowhere in a valley with nothing else then an epic view of the Kaldbaksfjørður Fjord, the sights here are impressive. Hit the mountainous road Oyggjarvegur and before you know it, the prion is there.

There is a small parking lot where you can pull-off. Travellers come to this attraction to capture the view of the sod-roofed building with the narrow fjord as a backdrop.
