Why do you go to the lighthouse? It's simple.

First, as you approach, you get a rather nice view to the east of Kunoy and Višoy.

The end of Višoy is Enniberg cliff, which at 750 m is the second highest sea-cliff in Europe (after Hornelen in Norway), which apparently is a neat experience (that we didn't get to do, doing it safely involves scheduling a guide and having the right weather):



As you crest the ridge, you get a nice view was as well over to Eysturoy and Streymoy:



Off the tip of Eysturoy are two giant sea stacks called Risin og Kellingin (The Giant and The Witch). This isn't the best place to view them, but that you can see them from here is neat:



Here's another view west, where you can see the village of Gjogv[1]



And proving that we were there:



But the real neat thing is walking right up to the lighthouse, turning around, and getting the complete view.

This is what the view from Kallur Lighthouse is. That's five islands (Višoy, Kunoy, Kalsoy itself, Eysturoy, and Streymoy). This is one of the finest views I've had anywhere.



(And kicking myself as a photographer for getting that much lens flare)


[1] Anyone want to take a stab at pronouncing that?
