Klakkur, Mountain summit near Klaksvik, Faroe Islands.
Rising to 413 meters above sea level, Klakkur mountain presents views of Kunoy and Kalsoy islands emerging from the North Atlantic waters.
The mountain's hiking path includes the Ástarbreytin gravel road, which residents of Klaksvik have used for generations to reach the mountain pass of Hálsur.
