Eysturoy Tourist Information

The only bridge over the Atlantic it is sometimes called, and it spans the narrow channel of Sundini to connect Eysturoy with the larger island of Streymoy. Because the channel is so narrow, spectacular eddies form at the base of the bridge when the current is running strong with the tide. This spectacular introduction to the island quickly pales, however, as the traveller explores all the unique features and vistas of Eysturoy. Eysturoy, for example, boasts the tallest mountain in the Faroes. The towering Slættaratindur soars 882 metres, yet the summit is easily reached along the eastern ridge. The view is absolutely breathtaking as it takes in all the Faroes from the northern reaches of Viðoy to the fringes of Suðuroy in the south. The road passing under this mountain connects two of the quaintest villages in the Faroes. The village of Eiði sits astride a narrow flat isthmus and the view from the hotel in Eiði down the fiord with Slættaratindur in the distance is magnificent. There is an excellent heritage museum, Látrið, in Eiði which is a renovated farmhouse that features many curiosities from the old days in the Faroes.
