Múli Travel Guide

Múli is a ghost town in the remote Faroe Islands. The unsettled place is situated on Borðoy Island in the northern part of the archipelago. There has been no inhabitants in Múli since the last villagers left the settlement in 1992.

Watch the first ever crime drama set in the Faroe Islands TROM and you will see scenes from Múli. You will recognise the filming locations when visiting Múli.

There are merely 10 houses in the empty settlement. In order to reach Múli, you will drive for 6 kilometres (3,7 miles) on an unpaved road from the settlement Norðdepil. Road conditions on the unpaved road can be challenging in some places along the route. You will experience very few roads in the Faroe Islands not coated with tar. The road to the ghost town is an exception so be careful in order to keep your car in good conditions.

Múli is an attraction for those who want to experience a small settlement away from the crowds. The name Múli translates to headland. Head to this place for a feeling of being remote. The surrounding mountains are steep and quite dramatic.

See Múli from a distance

Want to avoid driving on the unpaved road but still see the settlement? The northernmost settlement in the Faroe Islands is the place to go. From the most northernly settlement Viðareiði, you will get views of the ghost town.

Viðareiði is located on Viðoy Island. When standing along the coastline in Viðareiði towards the nearby Borðoy Island, you will see the ghost town at the foot of the steep mountains. The valley behind the settlement looks like it has been scooped out given the entire scenery an epic look.
