The Atlantic Road is a road between the towns of Kristiansund and Molde, at the top of the fjord region in Norway.
The Atlantic Road is a 8-kilometer long stretch of road between the towns of Kristiansund and Molde, the two main population centers in the county of More og Romsdal in Fjord 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, writes the British newspaper The Guardian (25 April 2006).
