Atlanterhavsveien — Attraction in Hustadvika

The Atlanterhavsveien, or the Atlantic Road, is nothing short of a marvel that weaves together the raw beauty of nature and the ingenuity of human engineering. Stretching across 8.3 kilometers of Norway's rugged coastline, this scenic route offers an exhilarating drive that feels like a journey to the edge of the world.

The road's serpentine path connects a series of islands and skerries with eight strikingly designed bridges, the most famous being the Storseisundet Bridge, which arches dramatically over the sea. As you navigate its curves, the panorama of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the jagged coastline is awe-inspiring. The ever-changing weather, from serene sunlit mornings to tempestuous storms, adds a dynamic element, making each passage a unique experience.

Driving the Atlantic Road feels like a dance with nature. The thrill of waves crashing against the rocky shore, the sight of seabirds soaring overhead, and the occasional glimpse of marine life make this route a feast for the senses. It's no wonder this road is celebrated as one of the most beautiful in the world, a testament to the harmony that can be achieved between human craftsmanship and the natural world.

The Atlanterhavsveien is not merely a road; it's an unforgettable adventure that captures the spirit of exploration and the breathtaking beauty of Norway's...

It might be me, but so far the most underwhelming part of our first Norwegian holiday. Yes, the views are beautiful and the way the bridge runs from island to island is a view to behold, but it's extremely touristy and busy. The nicest part was the walk around the rock at the cafe/restroom stop. We've been to Preikestolen, Runde island, Nærøyfjord and a few other also very famous places and they all blew us away, this didn't. For example: Runde island is not extremely far from here but not only gives you similar bridges and much more of them, it's also much quieter and if you're up for a hike the Runde Fyr hike around the island gives you two-for-one.

In short: if you're already in the neighborhood, then sure tick this off of your bucket list or whatever list it's on. But definitely not worth driving more than 30 mins extra for, Norway has enough to offer in other areas.

Also: expect to pay tourist prices at the cafe. A simple soft ice cream 55 NOK for example. Not even the ferries rip you...

The Atlantic Ocean Road is an 8.3-kilometer long country road that runs through an archipelago in Hustadvika and Averøy municipalities in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It runs between the villages of Kårvåg in Averøy and Vevang in Hustadvika. Built on several small islands and skerries, which are connected by several causeways, viaducts and eight bridges—the most prominent being Storseisundet Bridge. Originally it was proposed as a railway line in the early 20th century and another 1921 road design idea was abandoned. Later planning started again in the 1970s, and construction started in 1983. It took 6 years to build while during construction the area was hit by 12 windstorms. The road is preserved as a cultural heritage site and today is a popular site to film automotive...
