Múli sits at the very north tip of Borðoy in a small grass-roofed cluster of houses on a steep west-facing slope above the sea. The last permanent residents left around 2002, and the village has been formally classified as abandoned ever since, although several of the houses are kept up as summer dwellings by the original families. Sheep still graze the surrounding hillside.
The rough four-kilometre track in from the end of the public road at Norðdepil is drivable only with a four-wheel-drive in dry weather and is otherwise a 90-minute hike each way along the cliff line — exposed, dramatic, and with the kind of silence and isolation that is the appeal of the Faroes at their most extreme. The 18th-century church of Múli, restored and still in use for the occasional service, is the only public building. Bring everything you need; there is no infrastructure of any kind.
