The guardian of England rated it as the best road trip destination in the world. Norway awarded it the annual construction award. In 2005, Atlanterhavsveien was selected as "Norwegian century Architecture".


In the fierce competition with other world-famous landscapes, such as the coastal road of Antrim in Northern Ireland, the Himalayan mountains between Manali and Leh in India, and the Gibb River Road in Western Australia, Atlanterhavsveien, built along the west coast of Norway has always been better.


Atlanterhavsveien is 36 kilometers long. The road is built by the sea and connects islands with bridges and causeways. This route was originally proposed as a railway line in the early 20th century, but it was abandoned due to technical and financial reasons. The real planning began in the 1970s, and the construction began on August 1st, 1983.


Starting from the town of Kristiansund, it only takes 30 minutes to drive along the Atlanterhavsveien to cross the Atlantic tunnel. Drive out of the tunnel and you will pass through the charming avor islands. There is a Kvernes Stavkirke on the island. The natural scenery on the west side of the islands is particularly beautiful. The spectacular coastline of the islands extends all the way to Hustavika.


Atlanterhavsveien is zigzag, crossing not only 12 low bridges slightly above the sea, but also all the islands between the Western fjord Molde (famous for the Jazz Festival every July) and Kristiansund. Hustadvika is usually just an insignificant Island, but when the hurricane comes, the magnificent landscape here will completely exceed your imagination; when the ocean is calm, whales and seals may still be seen.


Although it is a very unusual experience to watch whales, here you still have many opportunities to appreciate the rich ecological resources of the Atlantic, such as the rich species of seabirds and seals. This impressive road skillfully connects different islands through eight bridges. Storseisundet is the tallest among them. It not only has a magnificent and beautiful arc, but also integrates artistic elements into the technical project of bridge construction.
