About the Book

Welcome to "The Obscure Facts from the Faroe Islands: A Travel Guide and Alternative Introduction to Faroese Society and Culture," a book filled with fascinating insights into the archipelago's hidden treasures. While most guidebooks focus on the Faroe Islands' well-known attractions, this book takes you on a journey through the lesser-known aspects of Faroese society, history, and culture - not as a guidebook but as an introduction to the islands.

Discover incredible feats that will astound you, read about the peculiar political situation of the Faroes, uncover historical events that shaped the Faroe Islands, and investigate strange facts that will leave you scratching your head in wonder. "Obscure Facts from the Faroe Islands" is a must-read if you plan a trip to the Faroe Islands or simply want to learn more about this fascinating destination.

Did you know that the Faroe Islands once had a hostile breed of sheep that were life-threatening to shepherds herding them on the steep mountainsides? Or that there is a Faroese factory that builds large catamarans in a mountain village? These are just a few of the many intriguing and obscure facts contained within the pages of this book.
