Through the blue misty rain-Faroe Islands 1

During the trip, I care more about the process. The most important thing is not the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood of watching the scenery. For people who walk in the wild, the most beautiful thing is not the scenery of the journey, but the memory behind their scenery. Feel the world while walking and add color to life.

The unique existence of Faroe Islands on the earth is attracting the attention of donkey friends all over the world. Here, life is different from other places, and the most exciting outdoor activity is hiking in the wild.

Local officials boast that the Faroe Islands have the best hiking routes in the world. In fact, the so-called "top class" refers to most hiking routes. For an ordinary traveler, the round-trip time can be controlled at about 5 hours, and there is no need for special outdoor experience, so you can enjoy those shocking landscapes in nature.

Now, we are hiking on the island of Stromo, and the goal is Kekeyoub? Ur) village. There is the oldest church on the island, which was the religious and cultural center of the Faroe Islands in the Middle Ages. But we mainly go to see the scenery and get oxygen all the way.

Toles harbor, starting from the homestay where we live, go hiking. Besides, Farrow, what are you doing here instead of hiking? When you go out, there are green grass everywhere, and of course there are sheep. Pleasant sheep, lazy sheep-

Sporadic farmhouse music on the grassy slope is finally dotted with a little popularity. The Faroe Islands is not a place to seek a sunbathing holiday, but to put on walking boots and jackets and let the wind here lead you to explore about nature and life.

Wade across a stream, across a grassy slope or meadow. Although the Faroe Islands are isolated from the world, they are very safe for the lonely. Not only is the crime rate low here, but tourists are reassured by its relaxed attitude, enthusiasm and hospitality. Because it is remote, it is difficult to meet other people here, so you need to be satisfied with your status.

Is the road closed? Do you want to stay and buy the fare? The only gatekeeper is wild flowers. You open the door yourself, but you should close the door. This is to prevent the sheep from sneaking in.

Looking back at Toles Harbor. The undulating green is connected with the sky blue. At the junction of heaven and earth, people's position is so small.

Wild flowers are everywhere, but they are not jealous. The grass is wide enough to accommodate countless exotic flowers and plants.

The cloud is more overbearing, stretching out a finger to hold down two hillsides.

A stone indicates unconvinced. Because it is calm, it is calm. Look at the clouds rolling and the clouds relaxing, and watch the tides rise and fall.

On the way to hiking, you will pass through stone piles, which is a signpost specially set by Faroese for the convenience of travelers. Every traveler who passes by consciously adds which stone. The stone piles left by passers-by are worthy of respect. It records the hardships of people's trekking, the courage to explore and the kindness to guide others.

Where there is a road, there are people. Right? Not necessarily. Can future generations not follow the path taken by their predecessors? Is it barren to return it to the grassland? Wrong. The world here belongs to green grass. Humans are just passers-by.

From a lush hillside across the sea to another lush island. The sky is blue, waiting for rain. Who is the green grass waiting for?

The stone turned green, and so on. Who do they want and when will they show up? I think, even if I wait for Godot, I will wait forever. Actually, it doesn't matter who you wait for. What moved me was the piety and persistence of waiting.

Passers-by come and go, the sea breeze comes and goes, the sea rises and goes, and only the green grass is obsessed with this land.

Leaving behind a fallen wooden fence. Will sheep take the opportunity to run around? I think, if they are willing, isn't it their freedom and fun to have fun on the hillside?

I just want to sit here for a while, and then I stand up again. I feel a little guilty about using grass as carpet. Every grass is a life. I didn't plant grass here, and I have no right to bully them here. This feeling has never been experienced before. The green grass in Faroe is open to me.

On this slope, you will reach the highest point of this hiking trip. Down the mountain into the village. A paradise? There are no peach trees here. There are no trees. The person who built the house is abroad, and there are no horses and chariots.

I didn't meet anyone in the village, but I saw idle sheep watching the sea view. Sheep in the Faroe Islands are as silent and cold as the Nordic people. They almost never make a sound. It is best not to disturb them.

But I still can't help but be jealous: what is the average area of sheep? What is the average green area of sheep? This path is also covered with grass. Not many people left, and grass grew on the road. Contrary to our present situation.

In the 9th century, the Vikings occupied the Faroe Islands. After vicissitudes of life, one thing has remained as a tradition until now-thatched cottages, instead of spreading grass on the roof, plant grass to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer. Some ancient villages still retain the thatched huts built by Vikings, even dating back to 1000 years ago, which is one of the material and cultural heritages that Faroese are proud of.

Is this weed's character too unscrupulous? Actually, I don't blame weeds, but local people like them. Since ancient times, people like to build nests on green grass.

Multifunctional traditional architecture. Warehouse, cellar, storage room, anything. Can you make a bunker when you fight? No, no, there has never been a war here.

Forever and ever, there is no struggle with the world. But they need to fight against the sea breeze and make the house strong; Fight the snow and ice, and don't let the sheep get lost.

Rare tenderness in the North Atlantic. 18 islands in the Faroe Islands are scattered on the sea, watching each other, and the sea between the islands has become a lake to avoid wind and waves.

Wild ducks drift with the tide. Food and clothing, what else can a husband ask for? Sea and sky are the same color, boring and boring. Mountain view? What happened to Guan Qing?

People are not birds, and there are scenery to see everywhere. People on shore and people on board never get tired of looking at each other.

Coming from afar, like my generation, is not only for the sky blue and grass green here. This is kirkjubur, the historical and cultural center of the Faroe Islands.

How can locals who stay together all the year round continue to live for thousands of years? What will they think of life now?

I'm afraid it's hard for foreign travelers to understand. Then, just take a walk and have a look, and you will have some understanding and imagination.

907 years ago, it was incredible that people could build such a building on such an isolated island. If it weren't for religious beliefs, people might give up in extreme weather such as storms in the Faroe Islands. For the villagers, the church in a remote village is undoubtedly a spiritual place and the destination of the soul.

The farmhouse is close to the church and takes care of each other. Built in111,it is called "St. Olaf's Church". This town was the religious and cultural center of the Faroe Islands in the Middle Ages.

The doorman of the church is a black dog. There is no need to bribe it with meat buns. As long as the visitors are friendly, they will be very happy.

Nordic simplicity. No, the Faroe Islands is simple. Cut a few windows and holes, and the "light of God" will come in.

St Olaf's Church, which is still in use today, is very similar to the churches in European villages. Compared with churches in European cities, this church is quite simple. Bourgh in Circiu was the religious and cultural center of the Faroe Islands at that time. Now, the landmark of every region in the Faroe Islands is still the church, which inherits the strength and glory of the medieval church.

This is a little old, a little story. St Magnus's Cathedral, which started in13rd century. Religion, in the era of scientific prosperity, is not only the spiritual belief of some people, but also the cultural heritage of mankind.

The history of the Faroe Islands did not begin with the arrival of the Vikings. According to Brendan, an Irish missionary, as early as the 4th century AD, the first settlers, namely Celtic monks, had set foot in the Faroe Islands and lived a hermit-like life. This seclusion ended with the arrival of the first Norwegian vikings in 800 AD.

Vikings moved here from Norway, or from Scandinavian colonies in the British Isles and the Irish Isles, and Faroe became a part of the Kingdom of Norway in 1035. The Vikings gradually accepted the far-reaching Christianity, and the location of the first bishop was this ancient village-Bourgh (Circiu).

For some people, the remains of St. Magnus's Cathedral are a good place to think about the meaning of life.

Let me take a break and think about it-

On the other hand, you seem to realize something.

Facing the sea, the air is excellent, but there are days when the sky is high and the clouds are light and the spring is warm in bloom. I wonder what it's like for local people to live in this corner of the world.

The Faroe Islands are like lonely travelers in the Atlantic Ocean. The dangerous currents in fjords and waterways made it very isolated from the outside world before the 20th century. This isolation contributes to the continuation of cultural traditions. Most local people have lived in small villages all their lives, and the towns are particularly late.

The outside of the wooden house was painted in different colors. One by one, I found that one of them turned out to be a museum. However, although it should be open hours, the museum is not open at all.

Exploring Faroese life is a great pleasure of this hiking trip. The rural scenery stretches continuously in the steep mountains, and medieval churches, small fishing villages and old houses of shepherds constitute unique humanistic scenery.

Icelandic horse. Icelanders brought it here in the early years.

They are more natural and unrestrained than hard hikers, but the new understanding of the world really does not lie in speed.

Actually, I prefer this one. Unfortunately, I came and went in a hurry and didn't have time to find a bike.

No matter which way you take, you can enjoy a pure world through the fog of clouds and mountains as long as you "take your mind".

Traffic rules here: let Mr. Yang (Ms.) go first!

Why are there so many cars parked on the dock? The master went on foot.

Ships from the opposite island are entering the harbor. Many residents of this island have their own boats.

Take a bus back to Toles port at the pier. Look at other scenery.
