    Perhaps the easiest hike from Klaksvík is the hike up to Hálsur, a mountain pass some 250m high on the Western side of the town.

    Head for the heliport and turn right along an unmade road to the pass. From here you can climb the 2 surrounding peaks, though the day I was there was pretty cloudy so there didn't seem much point.

    The views I got when the cloud occasionally broke where stunning, well worth the effort.

    The Faroe Islands very own Brewery is situated in Klaksvík. It's exported all over the islands from here.

    Faroese Beer is similar to most continental lagers, they have weak beer for sale in supermarkets (they're not allowed to sell anything strong - you have to visit State alcohol stores or pubs/clubs for the proper stuff), light beers and darker beers. It's pretty good stuff, the darker stuff was my favourite.

    Klaksvík Church is a marked changed from the older, more traditional churches you'll see in the villages.

    It was built in 1963.

    Unfortunately I didn't get to see the inside. There are fairly limited opening hours (10-11am and 2-3pm when I was there but this could change). I turned up at 2, only to find out there was some kind of service taking place - a wedding I think though didn't stick around long enough to find out, gatecrashing didn't quite seem the thing to do. And I was underdressed.

    Vist the church.... the main things to do option on the Faroe Islands. All churches are interesting, so is the Christiankirkjan in Klaksvik. This is a really big church, it is most of the times open, so you probably won't stand in front of a closed door.

  • Address: you cannot miss it! It is big!!
