The Atlantic Road

A very dull name for an absolutely breathtaking place.  This section of road along the coast of central Norway is short, but spectacular.  The road was constructed along a series of small rocky islands that are completely exposed to the sea.  Famous photos of this road often show enormous waves overtaking its most famous bridge.  On a calm sunny day, this stretch of road is amazing to drive.  The high fjords in the background and colorful vegetation inhabiting the islands make this passage between Karvag and Vevang magical.
