Atlanterhavsvegen is a short, theatrical ribbon of road that leaps from island to island on a chain of bridges. The road itself is only about eight kilometres long and opened in 1989; the best-known span is the Storseisundet Bridge. Ride it end to end in a weekend, with seafood and a sea view at every stop.
