by Muli is a village in the Northern parts of the Faroe Islands. There is historic proof that the place hosted a settlement in the 13th century already. In 1970, it was the last community of the archipelago to receive electricity. Nowadays, it is considered to be a ghost town. In this Pictured Story, I take you to a short road trip there.
Muli – Location & Access
Muli is located at the Northeast part of the island of Bordoy. The driving distance from Klaksvik, is some 18 kilometers. At Norrdepil, where you typically cross the bridge along route 10 to Hvannasund and Vidoy Island, you head North. The route is clearly signed. You can drive it with any kind of car. As the road is a bit of rough, a basic SUV might increase the fun of driving significantly. Norrdepil offers a small grocery store, while the next gas station is in Klaksvik. There is a public toilet at the Hvannasund bus and ferry stop. The total one-way driving distance from route 10 to Muli is roughly 7km – you have to drive back the same road as the access to Muli is a dead end one.
A Visit To Muli
The road to Muli is a one-lane road with the typical turnout bay allowing to bypass traffic. You first pass the soccer ground of Norrdepil. After leaving the village, the road gets a bit rougher. As you see, I did the road trip at typical Faroese weather with a touch of rain and fog. Thus, the views of the mountains around are a bit of limited. The fjord hosts the typical Faroese fish farms.
The last part of the road is limited to cars up to 3.5 (metric) tons. I loved the foggy scenery this time, I feel it perfectly fits to a ghost town. You should not drive into Muli, but there is a parking lot right before the village. Muli does not have permanent residents nowadays, but people do use the houses there, e.g. as summer homes, so that you should be respectful. As there were some vehicles around, I did not enter the village too deeply or tried to explore the properties.
