Norðskáli

Norðskáli is a seaside settlement in the mountainous Faroe Islands. Located on Eysturoy Island, this place is visited by few travellers to the island group.

The settlement sits near the bridge that links Eysturoy Island to neighbouring Streymoy Island. You will find Norðskáli north of the bridge. The Sundini Straint separates Eysturoy Island from Streymoy Island at this place.

Seafood in Norðskáli

This place was known for its quality seafood found in the strait that all villagers see from their kitchen window. From fresh cod to excellent seashells.

Sjógæti was a local provider of seafood. Their main visitor spot was next to the shoreline where they served fresh produce caught in local waters along with tasty fish & chips and seafood to prepare yourself.

Close to Top Attractions

This overlooked place on Eysturoy Island is worth a short visit. Instead of driving on the main road that leads to Eiði further north, you can slow down and take the village road once you have crossed the bridge from Streymoy Island.

That way you will drive between the colourful houses nestled along the shoreline. It will give you the tranquility found next to the waterfront.

Driving through Norðskáli is a good alternative when heading to Eiði and the Risin & Kellingin Sea Stacks found there. You can also view the rock formations off the coast of Eysturoy Island after a hike to Eiðiskollur Cliff. These attractions are sure to impress and before you get to them, Norðskáli will pop up in the landscape.
