Klaksvík, located on the east coast of Borøy, the second largest island in the Faroe Islands, is the country's second largest city and an important fishing center. Nestled in a deep-water fjord between two mountain ranges, the city boasts spectacular natural beauty and a unique Nordic cultural atmosphere.
The name Klaksvík derives from the Old Norse words "Klakkur" (cliff) and "vík" (bay). Historically, the town was formed by the merger of four villages, and its development was closely based on the resources of the sea. Today it has one of the most modern fishing ports in the North Atlantic, and fish processing and shipbuilding are the mainstays of the city's economy.
The city's landmark, the Christianskirkjan Church, was built in 1963 and is famous for its unique wooden ship-shaped structure. Every year during the Ólavsøka National Day in July, traditional rowing competitions and folk music performances are held here, showcasing the cultural traditions of the Faroese people.
Surrounded by crags and green valleys over 700 meters above sea level, the surrounding area can be connected to the capital city of Tórshavn via the Estroy Tunnel, which will open in 2020. The city is also the gateway to the puffin habitat on the island of Kars, which attracts a large number of nature lovers.
