Vágar region

Vágar region has served as a western island community within the Faroe Islands since the Viking Age. Set on the island of Vágar, it combines steep Atlantic-facing cliffs with sheltered settlements around Sørvágur, Miðvágur and Sandavágur. Sørvágsvatn, also known as Leitisvatn, is the Faroes’ largest lake and lies close to the ocean beyond dramatic coastal escarpments. Near Gásadalur, Múlafossur drops directly toward the sea, while Vágar Airport provides the islands’ principal air connection. The Sandavágur Runestone is a notable medieval reminder of the region’s early Nordic history.
