Trøllkonufingur, Rock formation on Vágar Island, Faroe Islands.
The Trøllkonufingur rises 313 meters above sea level, forming a vertical monolith that stands against the North Atlantic Ocean background.
In 1844, a member of the Danish royal entourage reached the summit to wave at Crown Prince Frederick VII but later fell while retrieving a glove.
Local tales narrate that the rock represents the finger of a witch who attempted to drag the Faroe Islands toward Iceland but turned to stone.
Visitors can start their walk from Sandavágur village or drive closer to reduce walking time, with the route taking approximately twenty minutes.
Only eleven climbers have documented reaching the peak of this formation, which serves as a nesting location for Northern fulmars during breeding season.
