Vørðufelli
Mountain overlooking the village of Sørvágur on the Faroe Islands
Vørðufelli is a mountain overlooking the village of Sørvágur on the Faroe Islands. Its height is 284 metres above sea level.[1][2] It is situated between Húsadalur, Vága, Vatnsdalur, and close to Klovin.
The latter part of the name – felli – is Faroese for a small mountain, related to the English word 'fell' as in fell walking. 'Vørða' is a phrase used by Faroese regarding birdwatching. A 'Vørða' consists of five puffins, and since Vørðufelli is the fifth mountain on the north side of Sørvágsfirði, that explains how the mountain got its name.
