Introduction to Kvarba, Faroe Islands
Kvalba is a traditional fishing village on Borðoy, an island in the northeastern Faroe Islands, located between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. As one of the oldest settlements in the Faroe Islands, Kvalba is known for its magnificent fjord scenery and rich seabird habitat.
Geography and natural environment
The village is situated in a steep mountainous setting surrounded by the Kvalbøarfjørður fjord and several small lakes. The area is characterized by typical Faroese grass-roofed houses and black basalt landscapes, with a view of the Midnight Sun in summer and a chance to see the Aurora Borealis in winter.
Economic and Cultural Features
The economy is based on fishing and fish farming, but in recent years there has been a gradual development of eco-tourism. Kvarba retains its old Nordic language traditions and folk music, and organizes a small cultural festival each summer. The village has a population of about 50 and maintains strong community ties.
Transportation and Tourism Highlights
Connected to Klaksvík via an undersea tunnel, which can be reached by car. Visitors can hike to the Kalsoy lookout to see the iconic Kallur lighthouse or engage in outdoor activities such as birdwatching and sea fishing.
