The Seal Woman
A stature of a seal woman, which has a lot of significance in Faroese folktale.
Perhaps the most prominent mountain in northern Kalsoy and also the most easily accessible one, this mountain, with an elevation of 537 m, gives excellent views of Trøllanes immersed in a sea of green.
An abandoned settlement accessible via a 3-hour hike from Haraldssund or via a mountain pass from the settlement of Kunoy. It lies as-is today because a snowstorm killed 7 able-bodied men on the Christmas Eve of 1913, which forced the town's remaining residents to move to either Kunoy or Haraldssund.
Viðareiði Church
Although this is similar to most other churches on the islands, it's worth seeing for its silver, which includes a salver presented by the British Government for help to sailors rescued from a wreck in the mid-19th century.
The main hotel of Viðoy, the northernmost of all islands of the Faroes. The hotel itself is not that large, but it's also situated in a small town.
The road to the Northern Islands goes through the long Northern Islands tunnel (Norðoyatunnilin) from Eysturoy to Klaksvík on Borðoy. For cars, there is a toll for the tunnel (DKK 100 for a return trip).
