Description
English: A natural hole in the cliff of Norðbergseiði west of the village Hvalba. The hole is secured with a fence, so that people want fall down there. One can have a look through the fence and have a view down to the cliff which has columnar basalt. This photo was taken on Norðbergseiði west of the village Hvalba in Suðuroy, Faroe Islands. The distance between the east and west coast is very short in Hvalba, around 1 km. There are two so-called Eiði in Hvalba, both on the west coast, the other eiði is called Hvalbiareiði or Fiskieiði and used to be a fish harbour.

This place used to be a dumping place for garbage, but the last decades all garbage in the Faroe Islands has been collected and burned. Norðbergseiði has developed into a tourist attraction. In 2009 men from Hvalba started to offer “síging” (a kind of rappelling) for tourists. People also come here to enjoy the view. A road goes all the way to the edge of Norðbergseiði.
Føroyskt: Norðbergseiði er tað norðara av tveimum eiðum vestanfyri Hvalba í Suðuroynni. Nakað av stabbagróti sæst á Drátti á Norðbegseiði. Eisini er eitt hol mitt í berginum, har sæst niður á helluna við stabbagrótinum. Bygdarráðið hevur tryggjað staðið, so vandi ikki er á ferð, um fólk ganga runt á staðnum, eitt hegn er sett rundan um holið. Stál veirar eru eisini settir fram við eggini á Norðbergseiði. Norðbergseiði er blivið eitt ferðavinnumál. Hvalbingar fóru í 2009 í holt við at bjóða ferðafólki síging á Norðbergseiði, tað er umleið 40 metrar niður á helluna.
