Kallur lighthouse (Kalsoy): the James Bond lighthouse hike
How to get to Kallur lighthouse on the island of Kalsoy, how much the fee is, what the hike from Trøllanes is like and what it has to do with James Bond.
The red and white Kallur lighthouse stands at the northern tip of Kalsoy, a long, narrow island in the northeast. It was built in 1927, and the view from the headland, with the cliffs dropping vertically, is one of the most spectacular in the country.

- Drive to Trøllanes, the last village on the island, where the hike starts.

The hike
From Trøllanes the path climbs through pastures to the headland. It is not technical, but the last stretch is narrow and exposed, with drops on both sides. In strong wind, rain or fog, do not do it.
