Our Map of the Month for March 2022 is the Faroe Islands Solberg-F&B Road Map
18 jagged volcanic islands make up the Faroe Islands. A unique and inimitable destination at the edge of the world. A place truly unspoiled, unexplored and unbelievable.
Our wanderlust levels have recently been heightened by this brand new edition of the Faroe Islands map published by Freytag & Berndt in cooperation with the locally based Henrik Solberg. It includes the newly opened 11km underwater tunnel network that connects the islands of Streymoy and Eysturoy. At it’s deepest the tunnel is 613ft below sea level and it features the world’s first underwater roundabout.
The cover image features a filming location from the most recent Bond film ‘No Time to Die.’ The Faroe Islands tourist board say it is the most remote James Bond movie location yet.
The map shows all the islands in their proper geographical locations rather than on separate panels. Topography is vividly presented by contours with hill shading, plus numerous spot heights. Car and/or passenger only ferry connections are marked. Road network includes country tracks and gives distances on main routes. The map also includes local footpaths and highlights several hiking trails. Symbols mark various facilities and places of interest including campsites, youth hostels and other tourist accommodation, picturesque towns, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 5’ intervals.
At a scale of 1:100,000 with excellent presentation of their topography through contours at 50m intervals enhanced by relief shading, places of interest and ferry connections, etc, plus a street plan of the capital Tórshavn. When laid out it measures 99 x 126cm, the perfect size for table top route planning.
The map includes a ‘must sees’ section with plus several colour photos that will give you many ideas for places to add to your list of places to visit.
