Bakkagøta in Tjørnuvík is a scenic coastal path that follows the edge of the ocean, offering stunning views of the waves crashing against the rugged shoreline and the towering cliffs beyond. This charming village is the northernmost settlement on the island of Streymoy. It is famous for its black sand beach, where you can spot surfers braving the cold Atlantic waters. An interesting fact is that Tjørnuvík is one of the oldest villages in the Faroe Islands, with archaeological finds dating back to the Viking Age. Thanks to luciakontsek and loborosh, a penguin stone now waits to be discovered here, turning a peaceful waddle along Bakkagøta into a little treasure hunt by the sea.
