Múli is a remote village on the island of Borðoy. It is one of the most isolated places in the Faroe Islands. Historical sources mention Múli in Hundabrævið. The village covers 10 merkur of land, divided between copyhold and freehold areas.

Of this land, 2 merkur and 8 gyllin are copyhold land. A farmer from Klaksvík leases this land. The remaining 7 merkur and 8 gyllin are freehold land. Sheep farming still takes place in the area, with around 281 sheep grazing in the landscape.

Múli no longer has permanent residents. The last inhabitants left the village in 1992. Today, people use the houses as holiday homes.

Despite this, Múli still reflects traditional Faroese village life. The buildings and surroundings show how people once lived in remote coastal areas.

Múli has a unique place in Faroese history. In 1961, workers moved a traditional Faroese house from the village to the Open-Air Museum in Kongens Lyngby in Denmark. Today, visitors can still see it there.

The village also appears in Faroese folklore. Guttormur í Múla, who lived here, was known as a sorcerer in local legends. His story remains part of the island’s cultural heritage.

Múli lies in a dramatic landscape of mountains and sea. The location feels isolated, even by Faroese standards. As a result, it offers a strong sense of silence and untouched nature.

Visitors who reach Múli experience a rare and special place. The village combines history, legend, and nature in a unique setting.
