Check out this fly-over video of the Atlantic Road! What is your favorite road in Norway?
The Atlantic Road should be on anyone’s bucket list.
I am extremely fascinated by the Atlantic Road. It is one of the most wonderful pieces of road in this country – and that says a lot! This 8274 meter long road connects Eide with my favorite place in these parts of Norway, Averøy Island. It was opened in 1989, and is one of the most visited places in this country. The road comprises of no less than 8 bridges, making the road seem like it’s “jumping” between the small islands on which it run. The tallest bridge, Storseisundbrua, is at 260 meters. The UK newspaper The Guardian even ranked the Atlantic Road on top of its list of the best road trips in the world. Actually, the whole road from Kristiansund, through the undersea tunnel to Averøy, across the island and the Atlantic Road, further onwards along the Hustadvika to Bud is one fantastic motorcycle trip in itself. Make sure you visit it when you come here!
If you already have a favorite road in Norway – which is it?
Hi Hans,
2 friends and myself are shipping our bikes from ireland to oslo on 2nd august.
We have no routes planned and would appreciate your knowledge if you could suggest a route that we could take 9 days touring and arrive back in oslo for 9th august.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
