Múlafossur is a waterfall that drops from a green cliff straight into the Atlantic at the tiny village of Gásadalur, on the west side of Vágar in the Faroe Islands, about 8 km in a straight line west of the village of Sørvágur and the islands' airport. A stream flows across the high valley above the village and then falls tens of metres over the cliff edge into the sea, framed by green grassy slopes and tall mountains, among them Árnafjall at 722 m. The village looks out to the island of Mykines and the Tindhólmur rocks in the sea, making the whole scene one of the best-known views in the Faroes. For centuries Gásadalur was cut off, reachable only by a mountain path or by boat, until a tunnel through the mountain opened in 2004 and made it easy to reach by car. From a small car park near the village, a short path leads to a viewpoint on the cliff edge looking at the waterfall and the sea. The waterfall is free to visit. The wind can be very strong at the edge, so stay on the marked paths, and the weather changes fast in the Faroes, even in summer.
