Vevang: Atlanterhavsvegen
Tucked along the skerry-lined coast of Hustadvika, Vevang is a place whose character is shaped by the exposed waters of the Norwegian Sea. The village stands at the mainland end of the Atlantic Ocean Road, the 8.3-kilometre route linking Vevang to Kårvåg on Averøy. Opened in 1989, this celebrated engineering work carries the road across low islands and skerries by a sequence of causeways and bridges. It is part of Norway’s National Scenic Routes, a collection of roads selected for their setting and design. Here, the built line of the route is inseparable from bare coastal rock and the broad sea around it, giving Vevang a distinctly maritime identity on the Møre og Romsdal coast.

Vevang has served as a road terminus on Norway’s Atlantic Ocean Road in Møre og Romsdal since 1989. The settlement stands beside Hustadvika, an exposed stretch of the Norwegian Sea along a low, island-studded coast. From here, the Atlantic Ocean Road runs across islets and skerries towards Kårvåg on Averøy, linking them with causeways and bridges. This eight-kilometre route forms part of Norway’s National Scenic Routes and is a notable work of late-20th-century Norwegian road engineering. Vevang remains closely connected to the sea, weather and scattered islands that define this coast.

Møre og Romsdal has been a coastal crossroads in western Norway since the Viking Age. Stretching from the Norwegian Sea to deep fjords and rugged inland valleys, the county includes the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord and the dramatic Romsdalsfjord. Ålesund is known for its distinctive Art Nouveau townscape, rebuilt after the fire of 1904, while Molde faces a broad sweep of fjord and mountains. Fishing, shipbuilding and maritime travel remain central to local life, alongside farming in sheltered coastal and valley communities. The Atlantic Ocean Road is another defining route, linking islands and skerries along the exposed coast. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Møre og Romsdal.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
