Preserving Nature: How Ró Cabins Guests Help Protect the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are one of the world’s last untouched landscapes—a place where rugged cliffs, rolling green hills, and breathtaking ocean views remain as pristine as they were centuries ago. However, with tourism growing, it’s more important than ever to protect these fragile ecosystems.

That’s why Ró Cabins has integrated the Náttúruverndargjald (Nature Conservation Fee) directly into our nightly rate—meaning every guest who stays with us actively contributes to preserving the Faroese wilderness.

At Ró Cabins, you don’t just experience nature—you help protect it for future generations.

Why the Faroe Islands Need a Conservation Fee

Unlike many popular travel destinations, the Faroe Islands have no large-scale tourism infrastructure. There are no overcrowded resorts, massive highways, or artificial attractions. What makes the islands special is their raw, untouched beauty—but that beauty is also fragile.

With more visitors arriving each year, the delicate landscapes face challenges such as:

❌ Trail erosion from increased foot traffic.
❌ Disruptions to wildlife, including seabird nesting areas.
❌ Strain on local landowners, whose private lands are often crossed by hiking trails.

The Náttúruverndargjald is a simple yet powerful solution: a small contribution included in your nightly stay that directly funds nature conservation efforts.

How Ró Cabins Guests Are Protecting Faroese Nature

At Ró Cabins, we believe that responsible tourism isn’t just about minimizing harm—it’s about actively doing good. That’s why we’ve taken a proactive approach to conservation.

Every guest who stays at Ró Cabins is directly supporting:

🌱 Hiking Trail Maintenance – Ensuring paths remain safe and sustainable, reducing erosion and preserving the natural landscape.

🦅 Wildlife Protection – Helping fund efforts to protect native bird species and fragile habitats.

Your stay at Ró Cabins is more than just a getaway—it’s an investment in the future of the Faroe Islands.

How You Can Be a More Sustainable Traveler in the Faroes

While staying at Ró Cabins already ensures you’re making a positive impact, here are a few more ways you can help protect the Faroese environment during your visit:

1. Stay on Marked Trails

The Faroese landscape is delicate, and off-trail hiking can damage rare mosses and plant life. Stick to designated paths to help preserve nature.

2. Respect Local Landowners

Many hiking trails cross private property, and access is granted with the understanding that visitors will be respectful of farmland, animals, and local communities.

3. Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations

By staying at Ró Cabins, you are already choosing a sustainable lodging option. Our eco-friendly cabins are built with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), designed for minimal environmental impact while offering maximum comfort.

4. Be Mindful of Wildlife

The Faroe Islands are home to thousands of seabirds, including puffins and fulmars. Avoid disturbing nesting sites, never feed wild animals, and always observe from a respectful distance.

A Sustainable Future Starts with You

Travel should never come at the expense of nature, culture, or local well-being. By choosing to stay at Ró Cabins, you are not just experiencing the Faroe Islands—you are helping to protect them.

Thanks to the Náttúruverndargjald incorporated into your nightly rate, you are directly supporting the land, the people, and the wildlife of the Faroes.
