This Atlantic Road National Tourist Route Map belongs to a series of 18 map and postcards sets describing popular tourist routes all over Norway.

The road starts approximately 30 kilometers southwest of Kristiansund and ends 47 kilometers north of Molde.The Atlantic Road zigzags across low bridges that jut out over the sea, linking the islands between Molde (famous for its annual jazz festival in July) and Kristiansund in the western fjords. The Hustadvika is an infamous stretch of ocean and when in storm it is truly dramatic. In calmer weather you might spot whales and seals.Chosen as “Norway`s construction of the century” in 2005, the road links together small coastal communities. From the town of Kristiansund, the Atlantic Road is only a 30-minute drive through the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel. After passing the tunnel you cross the island of Averรธy with Kvernes Stave Church, the very scenic west side of the island, and the incredible coastline out towards Hustadvika. The Atlantic Road has been awarded the status national tourist route because of the architecture of the road and the bridges, and the incredible coastline it passes through.Several descriptions and illustrations are included in the map to deliver a good visual representation of the trip.The set features:One map: scale 1:50,000 Text in three languages (Norwegian, English and German)5 Postcards (13.5x25cm)To see the list of other titles in this series, please click on the series link.
