Guys gearing us up are working in mountain rescue and that puts our minds at rest. We hike up the mountain slope and now the most challenging part is to lean over the cliff and start walking down. Once feet reach the rock, it is much more relaxing and enjoyable. When down, local beer chilled in the mountain water is presented and it is a great moment to enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2534 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00749.jpg\" alt=\"Blog DSC00749\" width=\"600\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00749.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00749-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the last day we have a horseback riding tour scheduled. The tour starts at the horse stables at the outskirts of T\u00f3rshavn and we ride through the valley Havnardalur to Velbasta\u00f0. The mountains offer a great experience where you get close to nature. The tour is suitable for both experienced as well as inexperienced riders. After the ride, nice Faroese homecooked lunch is served at the farmers Anna and \u00d3li\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2515 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC_8393.jpg\" alt=\"Blog DSC_8393\" width=\"600\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC_8393.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC_8393-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2540 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-IMG_20170427_155002_332.jpg\" alt=\"Blog IMG_20170427_155002_332\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-IMG_20170427_155002_332.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-IMG_20170427_155002_332-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2541 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-IMG_20170427_163709_748.jpg\" alt=\"Blog IMG_20170427_163709_748\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-IMG_20170427_163709_748.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-IMG_20170427_163709_748-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2525 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00599.jpg\" alt=\"Blog DSC00599\" width=\"600\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00599.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00599-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2526 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00607.jpg\" alt=\"Blog DSC00607\" width=\"600\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00607.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Blog-DSC00607-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faroe Islands in numbers: 18 islands 50 thousand people 70 thousand sheep 110 different species of birds 1 uninhabited island &#8211;
