The bus stop at Gerðisbreyt in #Velbastaður.

One can send their post or enjoy the view over #Koltur while waiting for a bus no 5 or Saturday-only route 7 (connecting #Kirkjubøur with #Kollafjørður). And they're free, thanks to the local community council.

#Oyrareingir (pop. 45) is situated at the very head of the Kollafjørður-fjord on #Streymoy. Its name in #føroyskt comes from words #oyrar (from oyri) that means sandy spit and #eingir - a meadow.

This hamlet is so tiny and its few houses so dispersed among the 'outskirts' of the neighbouring villages of #Signabøur and #Kollafjørður that few maps mention it.

#Kollafjørður (pop. 828) is #FaroeIslands #longest settlement. It stretches in a 7 km long strip along the fjord and lies at the foot of the #Dyllan mountain.

The rounded shape of the mountain gave the town its name (known since 1350-1400) - #kollur is #Faroese for “round top”.
