Chosen as ‘Norway’s construction of the century’ in 2005, the 8.72-kilometre long road links together small coastal communities. From the town of Kristiansund, the Atlantic Road follows road rv. 64 via a car ferry to Bremsnes, then across the exciting island of Averøy with Kvernes Stave Church, the very scenic west side of the island, and the incredible coastline out towards Hustadvika. The Atlantic Road was opened in 1989 and is now toll-free.The Atlantic Road zigzags across low bridges that jut out over the sea, linking the islands between Molde (famous for its annual jazz festival in July) and Kristiansund in the western fjords. The Hustadvika is an infamous stretch of ocean and when in storm it’s fantastically dramatic. In calmer weather you might spot whales and seals.
