Mulafossur waterfall, Gasadalur village, Vagar Island, Faroe Islands


Múlafossur Waterfall is easily the most famous attraction in the Faroe Islands. The picture-perfect Múlafossur is hidden far away from the crowds in the secluded village Gásadalur on Vagar island some 11 km (7 miles) from Vagar Airport. A nice walk from the village houses in Gásadalur, you will find this famous waterfall. This plummeting waterfall is known for its taking-your-breath-away experience. Just before getting to the waterfall, you will drive through the Gásadalstunnilin tunnel. There is a parking lot near the waterfall. From this parking lot, you will walk for 2 minutes in order to reach the breathtakingly beautiful waterfall that drops into the ocean. The cascade drops more than 30 meters (100 feet). ​During windy days, you are likely to see the water rising up into the air. This is a common sight all around the Faroe Islands. Múlafossur translates directly to the Promontory waterfall. The village sits high and with a sheer drop where the waterfall plunges into the ocean. There are only 25 houses in the village Gásadalur located just behind Múlafossur waterfall.
