In Eysturoy, it borders the northeast coast from Funningsfjordur to Gjov. The road skirts the west side of the fjord and, from Funningur, ascends in a zigzag pattern to viewpoints from which you can enjoy wonderful views of the town and the entrance to the fjord. Gjov is one of the northernmost Faroese villages. It is a place where the rocky coastline has been shaped by the force of the Atlantic waves, forming deep canyons inside the cliff. Park on the embankment located at the top of the town; the canyon is right next door.
