Gundadalur
Gundadalur is the name of an area in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. It is home of different football fields and other sports facilities. The largest one is the National stadium Tórsvøllur, a multi-use stadium.
The actual Gundadalur Stadium is the home field of both HB Tórshavn and B36 Tórshavn, just alongside Tórsvøllur. It was opened in 1911. In Faroese it is called Ovari Vøllur (The Upper Field). Before Tórsvøllur was built, there were two football fields in Gundadalur, the Upper Field (Ovarivøllur) and the Lower Field (Niðarivøllur). There are two sports halls in the same area. Høllin á Hálsi is the older one, built in 1970it is just above Tórsvøllur. The sports hall has been owned by Tórshavn Municipality since 2004.[1] Gundadalshøllin is the other sports hall, it is lying below and south of Høllin á Hálsi. Both sports halls are mainly used for handball and volleyball, but also for other public events, which are not related to sports. Gundadalshøllin is owned by the handball clubs Neistin and Kyndil and the volleyball club Fleyr. There is also a swimming hall in Gundadalur. It was built in 1984, it has one swimming pool which is 25 meters long and has 6 lanes, it has three other pools, one deep and two not so deep pool, which are mainly for children.[2] The swimming pool is north of Tórsvøllur. There is a gymnastics venue inside a hall at the north-eastern side of Tórsvøllur, it is called Fimi and is owned by Tórshavn Municipality. Outside the western corner of Ovarivøllur (Upper Field) is a sportshall for badminton, it is called Badmintonhøllin. North of Badmintonhøllin and west of Ovarivøllur is a tennis venue. Further up the hill (not in the valley of Gundadalur) at the other side of the road Norðari Ringvegur, near the Nordic House (Norðurlandahúsið) is a venue for athletics, which is called Tórsbreyt.
