Drangarnir Sea Stacks

Drangarnir is a pair of sea stacks standing between Tindhólmur and Vágoy in Sørvágsfjørður. They're among the most photographed formations in the Faroe Islands — the larger stack, Stóri Drangur (108 m), frames views of Tindhólmur from certain angles and appears in many of the archipelago's signature images.

Both stacks are visible from the hiking trail between Bøur and Gásadalur, and there's a separate approach trail from the Bøur side that brings you closer to the cliff edge above them. The terrain is steep and wet; take the same precautions as for any Faroese coastal hike. There's no admission fee — the stacks are open terrain on an exposed hillside.

A story
The larger of the two Drangarnir stacks has a natural arch at its base — Hvannhagi arch — large enough for small boats to pass through in calm conditions. The stacks are visible from the Bøur–Gásadalur hike and can be reached more closely via a separate trail from the Bøur area, though the final approach requires care.
