Saksun is about 40 minutes drive away from the capital city Tórshavn.

When you arrive in Saksun, the first thing you will notice is the small road that takes you to the church. Behind the church you will see a huge lake, waterfalls and mountains.

IMPORTANT: Do not go in the grass. Just stay on the road. If you do step on the grass expect a very angry farmer coming after you. Take the time to go down to the beach by driving to the other side of the village. Note that to enter you need to pay a small fee before getting to the beach.Important - If you want to walk all the way out to the ocean, make sure that you check when the high tide starts, because you can get stuck out there or get really wet. It’s a nice walk and if you are lucky with the weather it can be even more nice.
