Múlafossur, Coastal waterfall in Sørvágs Municipality, Faroe Islands.

Múlafossur is a coastal waterfall in Sørvágs Municipality that plunges 30 meters down steep cliffs directly into the Atlantic Ocean. The water drops between the mountains Árnafjall and Eysturtindur, creating a dramatic meeting point where freshwater falls into the sea.

Múlafossur falls where a small stream from the Gásadalur valley drops over the cliff edge into the Atlantic. The waterfall lies about 11 km from Vágar Airport, at the western edge of the village of Gásadalur on Vágar. The sources record no river name and no date for the falls; they describe only the stream, the drop of more than 30 m and the position above the sea.

Múlafossur falls at the edge of Gásadalur, a village of the Vágar west coast that was long reachable only by foot over the mountain. The waterfall is now the image most associated with the Faroe Islands abroad, and the village name Gásadalur refers to the valley of geese. Visitors can still see the old stone steps and path used before the tunnel opened.

Múlafossur lies about 11 km from Vágar Airport, at the edge of Gásadalur, and parking spaces are right next to the fall, so the viewpoint is reached on foot within a couple of minutes. The ground near the cliff edge and the stream can be wet, and Faroese weather shifts quickly.

The water cascades directly into saltwater, with no beach or estuary between the fall and the open ocean – a rare sight where river and sea meet head-on. This direct encounter gives the place an unusual character that many visitors find memorable.
