RouteXpert Review
Never boring and anything but flat ... those are the valleys and valleys of Eastern Norway, but that certainly also applies to this route to Western Norway! Western Norway is one of the most beautiful parts of Norway. West Norway is also the fjord area of Norway. This region falls under the More og Romsdal region. This has been the most popular region among tourists for years. Not surprising: in addition to the huge fjords, there are grand waterfalls, special towns and impressive glaciers ... You start, if you wish, with 25 KM of gravel roads. If you do not want to drive on gravel roads, skip route points 3 to 8, and keep following the road until the main road "3", then turn right and turn right again onto "29" (Folldalsvegen) in Stea.
You then pass through the Dovrefjell National Park, the Dovrefjell National Park (or actually Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park) is the best place in Norway to see musk oxen in the wild. The mountain plateau in particular is a suitable place to see the animals. But you can also come across them in the lower forests and streams, even along the E6 motorway. So be careful! A coffee break is also planned in the park.
After coffee on to the Slettafossen, this is an extremely powerful waterfall in the Rauma river, this is a 68 km long river. The Rauma flows into the Romsdalsfjord and the Atlantic Ocean. Definitely stop, there is also a nice shop. When you have crossed the river Rauma, the climb to the Trollstigen begins, where you definitely have to stop upstairs to have something to eat and drink, but above all to enjoy the view and of course to buy a souvenir. After the Trollstigen, cross the fjord with the ferry Linge - Eidsdal to the next experience: Dalsnibba! Dalsnibba is a mountain of 1476 meters in the province of Møre og Romsdal in Norway. It is located above Geiranger, 7 kilometers from the Geirangerfjord. Dalsnibba can be reached via a toll road from the RV 63. The mountain is also regularly covered with snow in the summer. Is the few NOK in toll more than worth it, so definitely drive up. After Dalsnibba it is winding to the hotel, where you can process the impressions again and prepare for the tour through this area.
In this 5 star route you mainly drive on good roads, take the time for the stops in the Dovrefjell National Park & Dalsnibba.
General information:
Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that tens of miles into the country, snow-covered high plains, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, the capital of which is Oslo.
Some practical tips:
Tolls must be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. For many routes that is temporary: in Norway the costs for new roads, bridges and tunnels are paid by tolls. When the construction costs are settled, the toll on that specific route is lifted again. Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim, Kristiansand and some other cities also charge (city) tolls.
It is not necessary to take action when staying in Norway. Anyone approaching a toll road can simply drive on without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the license plate of the trailer or caravan. It takes a long time for the photos to be processed.
The bill is then sent to the Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London within four to six months. There is no extra charge for this service.
Mandatory on the motorcycle:
Safety vest - A motorcyclist must bring at least one safety vest. In the event of a breakdown or accident, the driver is obliged to wear a safety vest. The ANWB advises motorcyclists to also take a safety vest for a possible passenger.
Advice:
First aid kit - Motorcyclists are advised to bring a first aid kit.
