Skarvanes

Skarvanes is a village located on the island of Kalsoy, in the Faroe Islands. It is situated on the island's east coast, facing the island of Kunoy. Skarvanes is one of four settlements on Kalsoy, the others being Mikladalur, Húsar, and Syðradalur. The village is characterized by its small size and its position nestled between steep hills.

Historically, Skarvanes, like other Faroese villages, relied primarily on fishing and small-scale agriculture. Its population, like that of many smaller Faroese settlements, has experienced decline due to factors such as urbanization and emigration. The village's infrastructure is basic, reflecting its size and remote location.

While Skarvanes itself might not offer extensive tourist facilities, its location on Kalsoy makes it accessible to hikers and those interested in exploring the island's dramatic landscape. The island is known for its narrow roads, tunnels, and opportunities for birdwatching and hiking, particularly to the Kallur Lighthouse. Ferry services connect Kalsoy to the main island of Streymoy, providing access to Skarvanes and the other villages.
