'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Sumba 📍, the southernmost village of the Faroe Islands, lies at the end of the island of Suðuroy, where steep cliffs plunge dramatically into the North Atlantic. The settlement, one of the oldest in the Faroes, is surrounded by rugged mountains and windswept heaths, with trails leading up to Beinisvørð, one of the highest sea cliffs in the archipelago, offering spectacular views over the ocean. Small and remote, Sumba has long been shaped by its isolation, with traditions of sheep farming, bird hunting, and deep respect for the sea.

'...Local lore is rich here. Sumba has been associated with tales of sorcery and dark magic, with stories of witches who once lived in the village and were said to control storms or heal with secret knowledge. The dramatic landscape, often cloaked in mist, only adds to these legends, making Sumba feel like a place where the natural and the supernatural meet. Today, the village is quiet, but its myths, history, and dramatic setting keep it one of the most fascinating, and mysterious, corners of the Faroe Islands...'
