Saksun is a charming little village tucked away in the Faroe Islands, known for its stunning lagoon surrounded by majestic mountains and cascading waterfalls. With only 11 residents, this remote settlement offers a serene and untouched atmosphere that draws visitors seeking a peaceful escape. The turf-roofed church and quaint village museum add to the village's unique charm, making it a favorite day trip destination for both locals and travelers looking to soak in the beauty of nature.

The hiking trail to Tjørnuvík starts here, or you can choose to walk out to the end of the lagoon to see the Atlantic Ocean.
