Sornfelli, Mountain road viewpoint on Streymoy, Faroe Islands
The narrow mountain road leads to a plateau at 725 meters above sea level, providing views across the surrounding peaks of Streymoy island.
The site contained a radar station established in 1961 during Cold War tensions, which operated until its decommissioning in 2007.
The mountain road represents a vital connection in the transportation network linking the capital Tórshavn to northern parts of the Faroe Islands.
Access requires driving on Oyggjarvegur road from Tórshavn, with winter conditions often making the route impassable between November and February.
The location features a meteorological station that recorded an annual average temperature of 1.7 degrees Celsius in the year 2000.
