geography

It is located north of the village Viðareiði , in the far north of the island Viðoy . The well-known steep cliff Kap Enniberg forms the northern part of the mountain. From the summit you have a good view of the six north islands when the weather is clear .

Since the two highest mountains in the Faroe Islands, Slættaratindur and Gráfelli , are on Eysturoy , Villingadalsfjall is the highest mountain on the six north islands, followed by 830 meters high Kúvingafjall on Kunoy. Villingadalsfjall is the northernmost of the ten mountains in the Faroe Islands, which are over 800 meters high, and at the same time the only one located on the island of Viðoy.
