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.

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.
