This Helgeland Coast National Tourist Route Map belongs to a series of 18 map and postcards sets describing popular tourist routes all over Norway. The map set includes a map in 1: 125,000 presenting an accurate topography (based on the Norwegian topographic survey) which describes local footpaths, cycle or ski routes, sport and recreational facilities, places of interest, places to stay and eat, viewpoints.Helgeland Coast National Tourist Route in the county of Nordland runs between Holm and Godรธystraumen and is 433 kilometres long, including the detour to Torghatten which is also part of the route. The main urban centres are Brรธnnรธysund and Sandnessjรธen in the south, and ร˜rnes in the north.Driving up the road you will cross the Arctic Circle and enter the land of the midnight sun. The mild coastal climate provides an abundant flora, and the sharp mountain peaks and wild rivers offer many outdoor activity opportunities. The southern stretch of the road is a journey through lush nature, with the ocean, sheltered bays and beaches on the seaward side of the road and mountains and peaks on the other. This coast is rich in tradition, legends and stories.The Vega Islands are on UNESCO`s World Heritage List. The Seven Sisters north of Alstahaug and Torghatten south of Brรธnnรธysund are well known natural attractions along this stretch of road. They are a range of seven mountains, all more than 1,000 metres above sea level. The 160 metre-long hole through the Torghatten Mountain was created in the ice age. In the north the road winds along coast and sea, mountain and glacier and crosses the Arctic Circle towards the midnight sun of summer and the-round-the clock darkness of winter.Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Helgeland`s nature is rich and fertile. The sea-lanes along this coast were once the country`s main thoroughfare for north-south travel. The Svartisen Glacier is easily seen from the road, a 350 square kilometre demonstration of frozen power. An arm of the glacier, the Engabreen Glacier, reaches down from 1,200 metres above sea level and almost to the fjord itself.Beyond the tourist route, more than 14,000 islands stretch out into the ocean, offering a wealth of activity and experiences. The islands of the Helgeland Coast have been made accessible to travellers by ferries and express boats.Several descriptions and illustrations are included in the map to deliver a good visual representation of the trip.The set features:One map: scale 1:125,000 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.
