Tindhólmur, Uninhabited islet in Sørvágsfjørður, Faroe Islands

Tindhólmur is an uninhabited islet near Vágar Island in the Faroe Islands, rising from the ocean with five distinct peaks that reach 262 meters high. The rocky formation sits along the Sørvágsfjørður fjord coast and dominates the visual landscape of this region.

Historically, the islet was measured and classified as two merkur in the traditional Faroese land assessment system, indicating its value in the local economy. This designation reveals how the early Faroese people organized settlement patterns and resource distribution.

The name Tindhólmur means "peak islet", from its jagged silhouette. The five peaks are named Ytsti, Arni (Ørnatindur), Lítli, Breiði and Bogni — Farthest, Eagle, Small, Broad and Bent. A legend tells that a farmer from Sørvágur, Rasmus, settled here with many sheep until an eagle took his child to Eagle Peak; a surviving house and boathouse are said to have been his.

The best viewpoint is the village of Bøur, where you can see the formation clearly from shore, or you can join boat tours departing from Sørvágur marina for closer views. Weather in this region can change quickly, so wear warm, water-resistant clothing regardless of the season.

Tindhólmur served as the model for the fictional Isle of Berk in the 2010 animated film How to Train Your Dragon, and in the 2025 live-action remake the islet itself appears as Berk. The nearby sea stacks of Drangarnir were used in the films' flight scenes.
