Lake Sandsvatn

Lake Sandsvatn is situated behind the local beach in Sandur. Sandsvatn is the third biggest lake on the Faroe Islands and is a long and shallow lake rich in trout. Every spring it is the last resting place for whooper swans on their way to Iceland.

There are small valleys around you so that in the interior Sandoy gives a softer and more rounded impression than most of the other islands. As Sandoy is the most fertile island in the Faroe Islands, you will enjoy the rich bird life and the flora around the lake.
