1Faroe Islands, Denmark

The remote Faroe Islands, located between Iceland and Norway, are one of Europe’s best-kept secrets for nature lovers.

These rugged islands are known for their dramatic cliffs, rolling green hills, and tiny villages nestled by the sea. The islands are ideal for hiking, with trails leading to remote waterfalls, along jagged coastlines, and up to towering sea cliffs like Slættaratindur, the highest peak in the Faroe Islands. Bird watchers will be thrilled by the abundance of seabirds, including puffins, that nest along the cliffs.
