The Føroyar Islands of Denmark, also known as the Faroe Islands, are a group of 18 small, rocky, volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. They're filled with beautiful scenic views everywhere you turn, but tourists are still rarely seen there. With a small population of less than 50,000, there are said to be more sheep than people - in fact, the name "Føroyar" actually means "sheep islands."

Photographer Kevin Faingnaert hitchhiked across the islands in February of this year, staying with welcoming locals in their small villages. "The Faroe Islands are an absolutely enchanting and moodily beautiful place," Faingnaert told Business Insider of the experience.
Below, see his beautiful photos of the islands that have remained one of Europe's best relatively hidden gems.
