Fishing
If
fishing is your thing, there's simply no place better. Your holiday
home has its own 15-foot boat
with
an outboard engine, ideal for fishing. You may also rent a larger vessel
with a captain, if you
wish
to experience real deep-sea fishing. Lakes and rivers abound, and
there is plenty of trout
and
salmon to be caught. Ask us for advice.
This
area offers some of the finest hiking and trekking terrain in the world.
One walk we would
recommend,
is to the top of the Mountain "Stemshesten". This mountain rests
on the shores
of
the Atlantic - very close to your house. It will take you 90 easy minutes
to get there, but
you
will never forget the view.
You
are in the heart of Fjord Norway. In fact, many of the country's
best-known tourist motives
are
to be found within a short drive from your holiday home. Below you
will find a description of
a
small selection. Enjoy!

This
charming fishing village is situated only 25 minutes drive from you house.
It commands a strategic position at the inlet to the fjords behind the
coastline. This setting prompted the Wehrmacht to build one of its most
important coastal forti- fications - the Fort Ergan. Now restored, guided
tours are offered through the many sub-terrain chambers.
The
dome of the church is an ancient sailors' landmark.You may also enjoy some
highly traditional Norwegian cuisine in the genuine "Bryggjeloftet
Restaurant". |

Molde

charming town is situated only 40 minutes drive from your house.

Kristiansund
The
colourful town of Kristiansund
is built on four islands, connected by bridges and the charming little
"Sundbåt" - the local bus on water ( photo above ). Founded
on its fishingindustry, the town developed strong ties with Spain and Portugal.
Even today, this is reflected in the local food, forinstance in the spicy
dish "Bacalaõ" - more native to the Med than the North Sea!
 |
Drive
to Kristiansund in less than one hour along the scenic
Atlantic
Coast Road, or do it the adventurous way:
Drive
your car to Molde, and take it with you to Kristiansund aboard the
world famous "Hurtigrute" - the coastal liner running between
Bergen
and Krikenes. Daily departures at 18:00 from Molde |
Ålesund
- the art nouveau town
This
charming town was rebuilt in Art Nouveau style with the financial help
of
German
emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II after a devastating fire in 1904.
 |
Ålesund
has a lot to offer its visitors. One of the most exciting aquariums
in Europe was opened in 1998. You can also drive or walk the stairs up
to the restaurant Aksla where this photo was taken.
To
get to Ålesund from your house, you drive to Molde. If you wish to
take your car along, drive on to the car ferry from Molde to Vestnes.
The option is to take the passenger catamaran from Molde directly to down-town
Ålesund and back. Nice trip! |
Mardalsfossen
waterfalls and Lake Eikesdalvannet
This
is the most beautiful lake in Norway! The surrounding mountains rise
1800 m almost straight up from the surface.
At
the south point, you may admire the highest waterfall in Northern Europe
- the Mardalsfossen. A road was built
along
the lake in 1995. It will take you about 40minutes to walk up to the foot
of the waterfall.
 |
You
will never forget the immense, damp pressure soaring down the valley as
you approach the waterfall. Wear shorts or a raincoat. You'll get
wet,
but
it's worth it!
The
road continues through the lovely valley, until a 900 m high rock wall
towers in front of you. The mountain road taking you to the plataeu above
is surely one of the most hairraising roads around. But again - the reward
awaits you at the top. What a view!
