Descripción
Mykines is an island with rugged coasts, steep cliffs, and grass-covered slopes. the seabird colony is located on the western headland and on the islet Mykinesholmur. A footbridge connects Mykinesholmur with the main island. The hike from the village to the lighthouse at the end of the islet Mykinesholmur passes right through the large Frailecillo Atlántico colony. Moreover, Cormorán Moñudo breed on the rocks at the water's edge, while the cliffs are breedin sites of Arao Común , Alca Común and Fulmar Boreal. Mykinesholmur is the only place on the Faroe Islands that is home for the Alcatraz Atlántico. Gaviota Tridáctila breed on the cliffs next to the footbridge.
UPDATE 2026: The hiking route on Mykineshólmur is closed and can no longer be walked. Currently, you are only allowed to hike at Mykine with a mandatory guide. The breeding colonies of birds on the Mykimeshólmur peninsula (they were accessible via a footbridge) are not accessible anymore. Because the bird colonies are no longer visible, the area is downgraded C-level/ blue marker.
