Vogar is one of the Western Islands.  Close to the airport is the largest lake of the islands, Sydravogsvatn.  At its southern end are the waterfall Bosdalafoss and the steep promontory Thraelahofdi along with other beautiful spots attract visitors.  Near the north coast lake Fjallavatn decorates the landscape and offers possibilities for anglers.  Two beautiful islands, Tindholmi and Gaesaholmi, are in the mouth of the bay Sydrivogur.  They are accessible by small boats.  The farm Midvogur boasts of a museum in a 17^th century house called Kalfahlid.  This house was made famous by the Faeroese author Jorgen Frantz Jakobsen in his novel Barbara.  In the church of Sandvogur a runic stone dating back to the first settlement is kept.

Mykines is a small island west off the Sydrivogur cove.  It is renowned for its seafowl cliffs and lively bird life.  It is impossible to land there in bad weather conditions, which makes communications difficult at times.  Those, who want to visit the island sometimes must wait for days on end at Vogar for the ferry connection.  Helicopter trips are on offer for people, who do not have the time to wait.
