Kirkjuvatn

Kirkjuvatn is a lake in Suðuroy, Faroe Islands. The lake is located just north of the village of Fámjin, which is located on the west coast of Suðuroy. The name of the lake means Church Lake. The lake is 0.2 km2 which makes it the largest lake in the island of Suðuroy. The lake is among the 10 largest lakes in the Faroe Islands.

The easiest way to get to Kirkjuvatn is by going to Fámjin and then follow the path behind the church. The path is a bit steep in some areas, but once you’ve reached the highest point, you can see Kirkjuvatn and walk to your destination from there on.
