If Iceland seems too tame for you, consider hiking the Faroe Islands, an autonomous country of the Kingdom of Denmark.
I’m hoping to get there myself next summer.

Some of the best hikes include:
- Lake Sørvágsvatn, Bøsdalafossur Waterfall
- Kallur Lighthouse, island of Kalsoy
- Slættaratindur (882m)
- Mykines Lighthouse
- Draganir (Sea Stacks)
Here’s a hiking map of the islands.
It’s included in an excellent free hiking guide (PDF).

I’m planning to arrive by ferry from Denmark on my touring bicycle.
