5Gásadalur, Faroe Islands

It doesn’t get much more remote than the tiny cliffside village of Gásadalur in the Faroe Islands.

Perched on a windswept sea cliff on the island of Vágar, the small settlement had a population of just 18 people at last count and is notoriously tricky to reach—you can either hike several hours along the mountainous coastline or hitch a ride through the mountain tunnel to reach it by road. The most beautiful views are from afar, showing the smattering of houses on the clifftop and a plunging waterfall cascading down into the ocean.
