LAKE SØRVÁGSVATN & TRÆLANÍPA SLAVE CLIFFS (LAKE OVER THE OCEAN!) FAROE ISLANDS
f you know anything about the Faroe Islands, then you have probably seen Lake Sørvágsvatn! This is the lake that literally appears to float above the ocean on top of a rugged cliff. It is also called Lake Leitisvatn, as well the area being called Traelanipia or the Slave Cliffs. Regardless of how you refer to it, this is the spot! The pictures are truly breathtaking, but hiking to and around this area is even better in person. I recommend it as the top thing to do in the Faroe Islands.
