Overview
Our excursion begins in Molde, the capital of the Romsdal province. Our journey takes us past Molde's popular hiking and skiing areas and the marble-studded mountains directly to Norway's most famous coastal road, the Atlantic Road. This unique and spectacular series of bridges connects numerous islands and reefs and was named Norway's Building of the Century in 2005. During a 30-minute photo stop, we have the opportunity to experience this interplay of nature and modern architecture up close. The tour continues along the breathtaking Hustadvika Coast, dotted with cliffs, reefs and sandy beaches. Our next stop will be at the delightful fishing village of Bud with a nice view on Bjørnsund Island. The next highlight is the 407m high Varden viewpoint. During the photo stop, a wonderful view of the fjord landscape with its countless small islands, the city and its impressive mountain panorama awaits us. Before we reach the harbor again, there is still time for a short city tour.
