THE ATLANTIC OCEAN ROAD, A HEAVENLY ROUTE

The Atlantic Ocean Road is a National Tourist Route in Norway that spans over the Norwegian Sea and connects the island of Averøy with the mainland. The 8.3-kilometer long road is situated on the western coast of Norway, near the city of Kristiansund, and is known for its breathtaking scenery and thrilling driving experience. Some people call it the most scenic route in the world and it’s not difficult to understand why. 

The Atlantic Ocean Road was built in the 1980s and opened in 1989, after several decades of planning and construction. The road was designed to provide a more direct and accessible route for local communities and travellers who had previously relied on ferries to cross the sea. It truly is an engineering marvel, featuring eight bridges, several viaducts, and causeways that link the small islands and skerries along the coast. The most famous and impressive of these is the Storseisundet Bridge, which curves dramatically over the water and appears to be suspended in mid-air. The bridge is an iconic piece of architecture that has been featured in many photographs, advertisements, TV series and movies, making it a must-see destination for visitors to the area.

Visitors can stop at several rest areas and viewpoints along the way to take in the views, snap photos, and even fish for cod or mackerel. It’s a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Travellers can drive or cycle along the road, or even hike the nearby trails for a closer look at the natural beauty of the area. There are also several restaurants, cafes, and gift shops along the way, offering visitors a chance to sample local cuisine and purchase souvenirs.

Overall, the Atlantic Ocean Road is a must-see destination for anyone traveling to Norway, offering a unique and unforgettable driving experience through some of the country's most spectacular scenery.
