An 8 km road hopping across small islands and skerries on the edge of the Norwegian Sea, linked by eight bridges. The curving Storseisundet bridge looks like it goes nowhere from some angles. In stormy weather, waves crash over the road.


There are fishing spots, a walkway around the sea and rest areas along the way. It's between Molde and Kristiansund; combine it with the Trollstigen and Geiranger. The Atlanterhavstunnelen under the sea takes you on to Kristiansund.
