Molde the Adventurous Atlantic Ocean Road

Molde - Bud - Ergan Coastal Fortress - Atlantic Ocean Road - Molde
Our tour starts in the beautiful “City of Roses”, Molde. Molde was given this name for its numerous parks and public gardens. From Molde, we travel towards the traditional fishing village of Bud. Along the way we pass the Romsdalsfjord, the Malmefjord and the Elnesvågen area, famous for producing the delicious “Jarlsberg” cheese.

In Bud, we visit the Ergan Coastal Fortress from WWII. Ergan offers you a glimpse into the dramatic history of Bud, as well as beautiful views towards the village and over the ocean.

Our journey continues along the infamous “bay of shipwrecks”, Hustadvika. You will notice how the landscape changes from a fertile countryside to rugged, windblown islets and reefs, before we arrive at the Atlantic Ocean Road. This impressive road counts eight bridges, including one that is 23 meters high. These bridges seem to defy nature as they wind their way along the archipelago in a spectacular zig-zag pattern. You will soon understand why this road was named the world’s most scenic drive by “The Guardian” and awarded the title of “Norwegian Construction of the Century”.

Our next stop is at Eldhusøya at the very middle of the Atlantic road. Here, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a local pastry, or walk around the entire islet on a newly constructed walking path. This 10-minute stroll, accessible for everyone, offers an amazing view over the wild and open Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day you might even spot a whale or a seal on the horizon.

After driving across the Atlantic Ocean Road, our journey goes back to Molde, passing the renowned marble quarries of Eide. Before going back to the meeting point of the tour, we will make a final photo stop on the top of Mount Varden for a spectacular view over the city and the 222 peaks on the other side of the Romsdalsfjord.
