Like its northern neighbor, Norðradalur , Syðradalur is located west of the capital Tórshavn, belongs to its municipality and offers a view of the islands of Koltur and Vágar . As the place name suggests, Syðradalur is surrounded by high mountains. In the past, the accessibility of the place was made more difficult by the strong surf that prevails at this point on the coast. After centuries of perpetual seclusion now exists since 1982 over the southern neighboring Velbastaður a connection to the road network of the archipelago. However, there is no direct coastal road to Norðradalur.
