Lake Sorvagsvatn located on the island of Vagar is the largest lake in the Faroe Islands. The length of the lake is about 6 km and with a height of 30 meters from sea level is connected to the Atlantic Ocean through waterfall. What is unusual in Lake Servagsvatn is that it is situated on an island surrounded by cliffs whose height ranges from 252 to 376 meters. At one side, water of Sorvagsvatn reach the edge of a cliff and therefore thrown into the deep in almost invisible waterfall. Lake literally hangs over the ocean. Lake is also the subject of years old disputes between residents of the eponymous town Sorvags and opposite Midvag small town. Long time those two villages could not agree whose name to be chosen. If you enjoy fishing, the lake offers you good opportunity for that.
