On the way back from Nakkurin, I took a slight detour on the island of Bordoy and followed Mulavegur all the way to the village of Muli. This little village is supposedly abandoned although it doesn’t look like it. It’s among the first settlements in the Faroe Islands dating back to the 14th century. Being old and remote, Muli was the last village to be connected to electricity in 1970 and got an access road in 1988. Thru history, Muli never had more than 25 inhabitants in the four houses that form the village. Beyond the houses, the villagers did their farming and fishing. To the north, the farm land ends at a deep gorge where villagers use to go hunting for northern fulmar eggs. There’s not much to say about this short hike, but just looking at the village, the farm land and the gorge, you can only start to imagine how life was in this remote area.
