Vørðufelli, Mountain peak near Sørvágur, Faroe Islands

Vørðufelli reaches 284 meters above sea level and stands as a natural geological formation on the northern coast of Vágar island.

The mountain's name originates from the Faroese term 'vørða', referring to groups of five puffins, as it marks the fifth peak along Sørvágsfirði.

Local inhabitants of Sørvágur maintain connections to the mountain through traditional practices of sheep grazing and seasonal bird watching activities.

Multiple hiking trails from Sørvágur village lead to the summit, offering views across the surrounding valleys of Húsadalur and Vatnsdalur.

The mountain's position between Húsadalur and Vatnsdalur creates specific wind patterns that attract numerous seabirds to nest on its slopes.

Elevation above the sea: 284 m

GPS coordinates: 62.07871,-7.29107
