Funningur, Mountain village in Eysturoy, Faroe Islands
The village extends along the northwest coast of Eysturoy, surrounded by mountains reaching heights of up to 856 meters at Gráfelli peak.
The village maintained its independent status as Funnings kommuna until 2009, when it merged into the larger administrative entity of Runavíkar kommuna.
A wooden church from 1847 stands near the water's edge, displaying traditional Faroese architectural elements including a characteristic turf roof.
The settlement contains 47 residents as of 2021, with houses concentrated around a small bay that provides access to maritime activities.
The village sits at the base of multiple peaks, including Middagsfjall, Gráfelli, Vaðhorn, Blámansfjall, and Húsafjall, creating a natural amphitheater.
