Norway - Atlanterhavsvegen Scenic Route




Atlanterhavsvegen Scenic Route


 The iconic Storseisundbrua bridge.

Today we travelled on one of the eighteen National Tourist Routes in Norway - the Atlanterhavsvegen (Atlantic Ocean Road).
In 2005, it was voted Norway's Construction of the Century.
In 2006, the Guardian named it the world's best road trip.

This scenic route is 36km long, starting from Karvag to Bud. The ocean is the dominant feature with seven bridges snaking between several islands and skerries. The Storseisundbrua bridge stands out as a spectacular feat of engineering. On a day with bad weather, this stretch of road can get very dangerous.
