Trongisvágsfjørður, Fjord in Suðuroy, Faroe Islands
Trongisvágsfjørður is a fjord on the island of Suðuroy bordered by four settlements: Froðba to the north, Trongisvágur at the inner end, Tvøroyri, and Øravík to the south. The shores are green and mountainous, and the waterway serves as a vital connection route for residents of the surrounding villages.
The fjord long served as the center for shipping and trade among the villages along its shores. The harbor at Krambatangi became the new mooring point for the ferry Smyril in 2005, modernizing the region's maritime infrastructure.
The Salt Silo at Drelnes stands as a structural remnant that local groups aim to transform into a cultural center and concert venue.
The best time to visit is in calm weather when the water is mirror-like and the mountains are clearly visible. Most visitors arrive by ferry and can explore the surrounding villages and harbor from the water or by foot from land.
The Stórá river flows into the fjord and creates a valley system with a tree plantation near the water's edge. This green space stands out in the typically open landscape of the Faroe Islands.
