Norway is a country that is known for offering up some of the most dramatic scenery on planet Earth. The convergence of the North Atlantic Ocean with the green, jagged landscape of this Scandinavian country is a delight to behold.

While Norway’s fjords, cliffs, and ocean landscapes can be seen in a variety of ways, one of the most interesting options for those who are looking to experience this country’s unique geography is on the world-renowned Atlantic Ocean Road.

This five-mile stretch of asphalt, which connects the island and population center of Averøy with the country’s mainland, is a twisty, up-and-down route that takes you over a path containing some of the most impressive and extreme road engineerings out there.

The Atlantic Ocean Road consists of several bridges that twist and turn in order to dodge the elements and take cars from point A to point B. The thrill of driving on this sort of road is only eclipsed by the thrill of taking in the breathtaking landscape from the window as a passenger.

If you’re lucky enough to end up in Norway, don’t hesitate and be sure to plan a drive on this spectacular route.
