Cape Enniberg

Cape Enniberg is the cape on the northernmost point of the Faroe Islands on the island Viðoy. It is 754 meters to the highest vertical cliffs in the world.

From the land side only experienced climbers should venture with appropriate local accompanied the rise. As a hiker, you can only go up to a certain level without any problems along the way. But again, as everywhere in the Faroe Islands: fog can suddenly pull up and then lay down long.

At the southern foot of the associated 844 -meter-high mountain Villingadalsfjall the picturesque town Viðareiði.

There are, depending on weather conditions, offered throughout the summer boat trips to Cape Enniberg. It's not just because of its imposing size worth seeing, but also for its famous bird colonies. It is thus one of the main objectives of the birders on the archipelago.

With 754 meters above sea level Enniberg is generally regarded as the second highest sea cliff in Europe. Only the very steep slope of the mountain on the island Hornelen Bremangerlandet in Norway is even higher with 860 m. But since Enniberg drops almost vertically into the sea as opposed to Hornelen, some prefer the description as the highest vertical sloping sea cliff in Europe.
