RouteXpert Review
This is the second day ride of Thomas Falck Østli, part of a longer trip. This is a beautiful route from Geiranger to Kristiansund. While driving the route you enjoy impressive landscapes and views. You drive long distances in Norway without gas stations and restaurants, keep this in mind before you start driving. The route includes a number of gas stations and possible stops at restaurants. Take a few bottles of water with you and possibly top up when you stop to refuel. To spend the night cheaply, it is wise to bring a tent. You can camp anywhere for free, except on land that is private property or in places with a prohibition sign. If you do not want to camp, cabins on campsites are a cheap solution. For safety's sake, however, bring a tent with you.
This route starts in Geiranger and the end point is in Kristiansund, where there is a campsite and several hotels to spend the night. The route includes two ferries: Eidsdal-Linge and Åfarnes-Sølsnes. To eat and drink along the way, you can bring something yourself. You can also stop at Gudbrandsjuvet Café, Trollstigen Kafé or Bryggen i Bud, for example.
The Trollstigen is usually open from May to October. The opening times may vary slightly depending on the weather conditions. This road is one of the most visited attractions in Norway and runs along the UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord. The road contains 11 hairpin bends.

The Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes around the Norwegian Fjords
Norway, who doesn't want to go there by motorbike or by car (camper)? Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a country in Northern Europe. Norway is located on the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and borders Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Go to Norway, forget it! You don't go to Norway for a while, take at least 14 days to take in all the beauty of Norway. The 5 routes along Norway's most famous fjords can be the start of an unforgettable holiday. When it comes to natural beauty, Norway is certainly in the top ten of most desirable holiday countries. Fjords, snow-capped peaks, mirrored lakes: every square meter is a treat.
Some of the ANWB's Top 10 tips are included in these 5 routes, such as:
Preikestolen
Hint: Don't be afraid of heights when you visit Norway's most popular vantage point. Preikestolen is a super steep rock that towers 604 meters above the Lysefjord. In fact, you get two for the price of one, as the four-kilometer hike to the lookout is just as phenomenal. Preikestolen is even Norway's most popular hiking destination.
fjords
They are considered one of the world's most beautiful natural wonders: the imposing Norwegian fjords. Millions of years ago, they were eroded by huge masses of ice. It is an unforgettable experience to sail on a ship between the steep rock walls, but you can also admire the fjords from various vantage points. Spectacular include Geirangerfjord, Trollfjord, Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. Certainly one of the most beautiful sights in Norway.
Trollstigen
The Trollstigen, also known as the Troll route, has what you would call the wow factor. On the 20 kilometer route you will experience no fewer than 11 hairpin bends; the average increase is 8 percent with a maximum of 10 percent. So a pill against motion sickness won't hurt… On the way it's a feast of waterfalls, steep mountain walls and fjords. Bonus: the beautiful view of the Geirangerfjord.

Top Car and Motorcycle tour through Sweden and Norway
Sweden and Norway are beautiful countries. You will find nice cities, but also impressive nature reserves. This versatility makes Sweden & Norway the perfect countries for an impressive motorcycle holiday.
In this collection 14 beautiful routes through Sweden & Norway.
Good preparation is half the battle, so read the tips below carefully.
1. Check the weather forecast. It can be very hot in Sweden & Norway, but it can also get very cold. Always check the weather forecast before you go, so that you can pack the right clothes.
2. Decide in advance which route or routes you want to follow. This way you don't drive around like a headless chicken and you can make the most of your days off in these beautiful countries.
3. Familiarize yourself with the traffic rules. In Sweden & Norway, in some situations, slightly different rules apply than in the Netherlands. By immersing yourself in the traffic rules, you prevent (unknowingly) committing a traffic violation and/or putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
It is also wise to book the accommodations in advance. It might be more fun to drive through these countries on spec, but you don't want to drive around endlessly to find a place to sleep. If you go to Sweden or Norway during the high season, the chance that you will have to look for a place to sleep is greatest. It is also possible to camp during your motorcycle trip, but find out in advance where this is and is not allowed. You are not allowed to pitch your tent everywhere.
As the largest country in Scandinavia, you can enjoy extensive tours in a unique environment. Forests, lakes, nature parks and agricultural areas largely determine the landscape, which also consists of flat areas and rolling hills. Around the Swedish-Norwegian border is the Scandinavian Highlands, where the mountains rise locally to 2100 meters.
Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that go into the country tens of kilometers deep, snow-covered plateaus, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, of which the capital Oslo is the largest.
Tolls have to be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. If you approach a toll road, you can continue without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the registration number of the trailer or caravan. It takes quite some time to process the photos.
The bill is then sent home within four to six months by Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London.
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 bring a safety vest for a possible passenger.
Advice: First aid kit, motorcyclists are advised to bring a first aid kit.
