Atlantic Road: Norway's Ocean Highway
🚗10 mapped stops
Just 5.2 miles long but endlessly dramatic — the Atlanterhavsveien leaps across eight bridges connecting a chain of islands and skerries between Molde and Kristiansund. Storm-watching here is a sport, and waves crash over the road in autumn gales.
Paradas Neste Passeio (10)
- 1 Vevang — Eastern Approach The approach from the east crosses flat coastal farmland before the road suddenly reaches open ocean. Nothing ahead but islands, bridges, and the Norwegian Sea.
- 2 Eldhusøya Island A small island with a viewpoint platform shaped like a wave. The full span of the Atlantic Road is visible from here — bridges leaping from rock to rock across wild water.
- 3 Storseisundet Bridge The crown jewel — a dramatically curved bridge that appears to launch into the sky from a specific angle. Known as "the road to nowhere" in photographs.
- 4 Myrbærholmen Viewpoint A pedestrian bridge extends over the sea to a lookout point. The Norwegian Sea stretches to the Arctic. Atlantic puffins nest on the outer skerries in summer.
- 5 Hulvågen One of the smallest inhabited islands along the route. Fishing has sustained these communities for centuries — dried cod (klippfisk) racks still line the shores.
- 6 Håholmen — Historic Trading Post An islet with a preserved 18th-century fishing village and trading post. Now a boutique hotel, it offers the experience of sleeping on the edge of the open Atlantic.
- 7 Averøy Island The largest island on the route, with Viking-age stone circles and the Kvernes Stave Church from the 1300s. The landscape shifts from exposed rock to sheltered farmland.
- 8 Kvernes Stave Church A medieval wooden stave church from 1300 AD sits beside a newer 1893 church. The Viking shipbuilding tradition is evident in the construction of these extraordinary wooden structures.
- 9 Bremsnes Caves Sea caves with evidence of human habitation stretching back 9,000 years. Stone Age hunters sheltered here where the land meets the Atlantic.
- 10 Kristiansund — Western End The "Klippfish Capital of Norway" sits on three islands connected by bridges. This coastal city has processed and exported dried cod since the 1600s.
