The Atlantic Ocean Route for cyclists
The National Bicycle Route 1/EuroVelo 1 has been named "Atlanterhavsruta" - the Atlantic Ocean Route. The route goes along the coast and across several islands between Kristiansund and Ålesund, providing a unique close encounter with the sea and the coastal landscape. The route includes an express boat and several ferry connections.
