From here, you can make your way to Torshavn, Streymoy, Gj\u00f3gv, Vi\u00f0arei\u00f0i and Su\u00f0uroy. On your adventure, you will come across coastal cliffs, sea villages, fjords, waterfalls and mountain passages.

Tourists will traverse the Carpathian Mountains on the stunning trip.<\/p>\n A spokesperson said: \u201cPicture narrow lanes winding along verdant mountains, passing by naturally-sculpted statues, fragrant meadows, tranquil lakes and cascading waterfalls. Driving the Transalpina typically requires a minimum of four hours.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, the route\u2019s carrying elevations, lack of safety barriers, hairpin bends and active wildlife residents often make it take around six hours to complete. In saying that, we would recommend leaving yourself more time to explore the area. You can stay at traditional hotels in the little villages along Transalpina.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/25\/590x\/secondary\/TRAVEL-Faroe-Islands-4919875.jpg?r=1692625113383\")
