The tiny island of Koltur seems to follow Hestur like a colt following a horse, and it is possible that the island’s name has some connection with the English word ‘colt’. The island is dominated by the steep mountain of Kolturshamar that rises to 477m above the sea. There is only one farm on Koltur and no regular connection to the island. Occasionally during the summer months, visits are arranged to Koltur and the farmer provides farm holidays with many exciting activities.
Historically, Koltur is a unique place. It is not possible to find such an unspoiled cultivated landscape, from coast to mountain, anywhere else on the islands. The cultivated area within the stone fences is immense, a significant part of which is ancient farmland for the growing of corn. After the restoration of several old buildings belonging to the abandoned settlement Heimi í Húsi, Koltur is most definitely worth a visit.
