You drive longer distances in Norway without encountering a gas station or restaurant, keep this in mind before you drive. Make sure your tank is full and bring food and drinks. Bring a few bottles of water or Camel bag and fill it up when you stop to refuel. A number of breaks have been planned along the way for refueling, eating and drinking.
You have the choice to spend the night at campsites or in hotels. Hotel prices in Norway are not particularly high and breakfast is usually included. Camping is free almost everywhere, except on private property or where camping is prohibited, indicated by prohibition signs. If you don't want to camp, there are often cabins for rent on the campsites. For a trip through Norway it is always advisable to bring a tent and other camping gear.
I rate this route with 5 **** stars because of beautiful roads with many bridges, great panoramas, not to mention the visits to Trondheim and Vudduvalen.

Stunning view while riding the Fv800
We continue the journey on the fylkesvei (provincial road) 680 which leads partly along the coast but also through wooded areas. We also pass some lakes and the route contains many beautiful bridges that connect the smaller islands.
At RP4 we cross the Sålåsundet via the bridge "Soleimsundbrua". This bridge is a free development bridge in the municipality of Aure in Møre og Romsdal. The bridge connects Gullstein with Tustna. It was opened on July 1, 1978. The bridge is approximately 340 meters long.
At RP5 we take the bridge “Imarsundbrua” over Imarsundet. This is a steel box girder bridge between the island of Stabblandet and Jørnøya. It was opened on January 15, 2007 by the Minister of Transport and Communications, so there is a ferry-free road from Tømmervåg to the municipal center Aure and on to Kyrksæterøra and Trondheim. The Imarsund Bridge is 550 meters long, with 5 spans, the longest at 120 meters. It is part of Fv680 and, together with Litjsundbrua, replaces the Aukan - Vinsternes ferry section. The ferry crossing took 15 minutes and the ferry only ran once every hour.
At RP6 we take the bridge “Litjsundbrua”, this is a concrete box girder bridge with a total length of 300 meters, and a main span of 160 meters. The bridge has two lanes of the Fv680 and spans the Litlsund, a strait between the islands of Ertvågsøya and Jørnøya, part of the junction of the larger Imarsund strait between Ertvågsøya and Stabblandet. The bridge is toll-free.
At RP8 we drive across Mjosund Bridge (Norwegian: Mjosundbrua) is a cantilevered bridge that crosses the Mjosundet strait between the islands of Rottøya and Ertvågsøya in Aure Municipality in Møre og Romsdal County, Norway. Together with the Aursund Bridge, it is part of the road connection between the mainland and Ertvågsøya. Mjosund Bridge is 346 meters (1135 feet) long and was opened in 1995. Across the street is a small parking lot (RP9) where you can take a picture.
We now drive on to the famous town of Trondheim (RP25), this is a must-visit location. Known for its beautiful house and the many good restaurants, it is not called the cradle of Scandinavian cuisine for nothing. Here we take a longer break to have lunch and to stretch our legs. Take a walk through the Bakklandet district with its colorful wooden houses and cobbled narrow streets. Of course you can also rent a bicycle and go out on the locals' favorite mode of transport. You can also choose to plan an extra day here, there are many hotels in Trondheim.
After our visit to Trondheim the journey continues to the final destination Verdal, but first we visit the Steinvikholm Castle (RP25) on a small island which can be reached via a footbridge.
The next stop is in Vuddudalen (Vuddu Valley) at RP27, a must for Americana enthusiasts. You can already see the American-style buildings from the road. Here the visitor experiences an extraordinary experience. Original and attractive. Here you have the opportunity to walk through decades of the 20th century, there is a museum, American Diner “Pick Up Café” and a souvenir shop. You can eat a good burger, drink milkshakes, buy candles and gift items.
After this last stop we drive via Fv111 to Verdal, our end point for this day. A faster route is via the E6. In Verdal we spend the night at a campsite or in one of the hotels.

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.
All routes in this collection have been checked and made equal for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation!

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.
