Hov is a village located on Suduroy's east coast, in the Faroe Islands; it is frequently mentioned in the country's history.

According to the Faroese Sagas and local tradition, the first Viking settler on Suðuroy established a farm in Hov, which is said to be named after his pagan hof.

His grave is at "undir Homrum" in Hov and is the only chieftain burial site to be found on the Faroes.

Hov lies in the middle of the island and the area is flat and wide with a good view out to sea.

[4] His burial plot is located in the hills above the village, but was largely destroyed when opened in by amateur archaeologists in 1834.

The waterfall is formed at the place where Hovsá runs over the edge at Foldarshamri, and a bit further to the south there is a mountain pass which is called Foldarsskarð.

Fiskastovan á Mýri is used for many different purposes: Art exhibitions, café, small concerts, lectures, dinner for groups etc.
