Skarð (pronounced [ˈskɛaɹ]) is an abandoned village on the east coast of the island of Kunoy in the Norðoyar region of the Faroes.
[1] In the following years, the surviving women and children left the village for Haraldssund to the south.
One runs along the coast from Haraldssund; the other is a high mountain trail over the pass of Skarðsgjógv, from the west-coast village of Kunoy.
The latter climbs about 600 metres and is a challenging route recommended for experienced mountain hikers only, though the villagers frequently used it to walk to Kunoy for church services.
