Glyvraberg
The view to the opposite side reveals the peak of Glyvraberg (366 m) and in front of it we see two monumental rock cracks.

Rock arch
Near the second fissure, looking towards Ásmundarstakkur, a beautiful rock arch appears.

The second rock fissure
The intensity of the wind gusts on the footbridge is increasing, which in itself is unpleasant, and this situation is made worse by the loose handrail, which cannot be held well enough. Taking pictures from this place takes place kneeling while holding on to chabrus wooden posts.
I don't stay long at the Rituskor cliff, first I go back over the footbridge, then I carefully descend the slope above the crack and finally I cut it as fast as possible back to the car in order to still have time to visit the cave near the village of Froðba.
The village of Hvalba
Along the way, we still manage a quick stop to photograph the bay and the delta near the village of Hvalba.
Back through the tunnel
On the opposite side there is a beautiful valley and a tunnel that will take us back to Tvøroyri harbour.
Hol í Hellu cave
Before the ferry leaves, we have time to visit a picturesque basalt cave near the village of Froðba called Hol í Hellu.
The way to the cave
The path to the cave is difficult, it leads close to the waterfall over large wet basalt stones, which are also covered in slippery seaweed in places. The mouth of the cave welcomes visitors with a beautifully colored ceiling.
Pink cave
Thanks to the varied color range, the cave offers an interesting view into its interior. Surprisingly, a shade of pink also appears here.
Way back
The view from the cave is sometimes enlivened by the presence of a ship or a seal. I would love to stay here longer, but we are running out of time. We have to hurry back, get in the car and catch the last ferry leaving at 18:45. The island of Suðuroy offers much more to explore, but the eight hours we spent here were not enough.
What did we miss?
Another of the places worth visiting on this island, but which we did not make it to:
– Lake Hvannhagi
– Kikarin á Eggini viewpoint
– Hov village with wooden church and Runesten stones
– lake Hviltarvatn
– Fámjin village
