The National Geographic put the Coastal Route – Road 17 – on the list of the most scenic roads in the world. No wonder.
Prepare for six ferry crossings, but they are relatively short and with frequent departures in the summer season.
On your way to Bodø to catch the ferry to the Lofoten Islands, you need to ride the 700 km long Coastal Route, or Fv 17 as it will show up in the maps. It is one fantastic motorcycle road, and will get you to the sights of the Helgeland coastline. It has 6 ferries, and is doable in 3 days, although seasoned travellers recommends spending at least 5.
