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.

Stops on This Tour (10)

1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
