Kalsoy Island Road
76Syðradalur to Trøllanes
The only road on the slender island of Kalsoy threads four narrow unlit tunnels and hugs the fjord coast between them, linking the ferry landing at Syðradalur to the near-deserted village of Trøllanes.
Reached by ferry from Klaksvík, the road north threads three tunnels punctuating stretches of open coast, each portal surfacing to a new headland view, before the 2.25 km Trøllanestunnilin releases the road into the green bowl of Trøllanes. A footpath continues to the Kallur lighthouse, one of the most photographed in the North Atlantic; the road featured in a Bond film.
