Frammistovugarður – Traditional Food & Hike

Just a short drive from Tórshavn lies the charming village of Kaldbak, a peaceful escape from the city where the rhythm of life slows down.

As you follow the winding Kaldbaksvegur road, the scenery shifts — sheep grazing in green fields, the sound of the wind over the hills, and a sense of calm that feels uniquely Faroese.

At the heart of the village you’ll find Frammistovugarður, but don’t picture a simple backyard garden. Here, “the backyard” is a sprawling, fairy-tale-like field with a stream running through it.

The walk through this landscape invites you to slow down: you can roll up your trousers and wade across the cool water, or take the “softer” option — crossing via stepping stones.

Either way, the journey is accompanied by a knowledgeable and friendly guide, sharing personal stories and local history about the farm, the area, and traditional life in Kaldbak.

After the walk, guests are welcomed indoors by the warm hosts, where a spread of authentic Faroese food awaits — all homemade.

Expect rullupylsa, kjøtpylsa, skerpikjøt, dried fish, whale meat with blubber, soup, and seasonal treats like rhubarb dessert. Everything is served with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like an old friend rather than a visitor.

A welcome snaps at the door is just the beginning of the warmth that follows. A welcome snaps is basically the Nordic cousin of a welcome drink – a small shot of spirits, usually aquavit or schnapps, served to guests as they arrive.

The experience blends nature, tradition, and storytelling in a way that is deeply personal. You don’t just see the Faroes — you taste them, walk through them, and hear them come alive through the voices of the people who live here.

If you want to experience true Faroese hospitality, hear stories passed down through generations, enjoy a scenic hike, and taste traditional food in an authentic setting, Frammistovugarður’s “Traditional Food & Hike” is an unforgettable choice.
