About
Quick facts: Eight bridges connect a series of small islands along this stretch, twisting over open waters with dramatic waves crashing below. Seen as an engineering marvel, it offers thrilling views where the road bends sharply against the fierce Norwegian Sea.
Highlights: The most famous part spans 8.3 kilometers and includes the Storseisundet Bridge, curving so sharply it seems to float above the ocean when viewed from certain angles. Wind and waves often create surreal spray patterns, making each drive feel like a live nature and engineering show.
Insider tips
- Wear windproof clothing; coastal winds can be fierce any time of year.
- Stop at the viewpoints just off the road for the best dramatic photos, especially near the Storseisundet curve.
- Avoid weekends during tourist season when the route can get congested with cars and buses.
- Walk one or two of the bridges to fully appreciate the engineering and the sea views without traffic noise.
