Furthest east on the northern side of the fjord is Froðba, in the bottom of the fjord is Trongisvágur. In between Trongisvágur and Froðba is Tvøroyri, the largest of these villages. South of Trongisvágur in a bay is Øravík, a part of Øravík is called Øravíkarlíð, it is located close to Trongisvágur and not visible from Øravík. These villages are in the Municipality of Tvøroyri.

The ferry port on Krambatangi

The ferry port Krambatangi is on the southern side of the fjord between Trongisvágur and Øravík. The ferry port was on Drelnes before 2005 when the new ferry Smyril arrived, and they had to make a new ferry port. Drelnes is just a few hundred meters further east than Krambatangi.[1]

The Salt Silo on Drelnes

An old Salt Silo is on Drelnes, it is a ruin, but there is a project, which is called Project Salt, which intend to restore the Saltsilo into a concert hall and cultural house. There was a big concert there in May 2010. All the bands played for free in order to support the project.[2]
