Stavanger - Lofoten
 

Hi Frank,

wir waren vor 4 Wochen da, sehr schöne Ecke :thumbup1:
Unsere Route war wie folgt:
Fauske die E6 bis Ulvsvag, dann die 81 zur 2. Fährverbindung. Die Fähre dauert nur 2 Std. Aber Vorsicht, an Sonntagen fahren die Fähren nicht so oft, wir hatte 1,5 Std Aufenthalt am Anleger . Davon eine Std. mit der Fähre vor der Nase :(
Dann auf den Lovoten die E10 Richtung Süden bis zum Abzweig auf die 815 (sehr schöne kleine Strasse bis Leknes) Dann sind wir die E10 zurück nach Narvik gefahren.
Auf der 815 gibt es einen netten Campingplatz

Brustranda Sjøcamping
Rolfsfjord
8370 Leknes

Falls du die Wahl hast zwischen E10 und 815 ... auf jedem Fall die 815 fahren ... die ist echt klasse. :mchappy:

Hi NightAlp,

many thanks for your feedback :)

You've picked many of the good roads.
In particular, you are right to go north on Rv 17, the coastal road from
Trondheim to Bodo.

There is an alternative/ option to consider:

(GoogleMaps: Trondheim-> Brønnøysund)

i.e., instead of Rv 17 all the way, go north E6 to Rv 76, then west into Bronnoysund, and continue north on Rv 17 to Bodo.

The Rv 76 is an alternative VERY BEAUTIFUL road. :D

enjoy

Your route seems mostly fine to me. Any route you take - you will miss another. But I have a few suggestions:

Why dont you start off from Stavanger by taking the Ferry in of the Lysefjorden? The Ferry trip is spectacular - even with my north-Norwegian eyes.....:blushing:

And after that I recommend this route:

From Lysebotn up a fantasic winding road to R45 over another Nice route the moutain area called Suleskardveien. Then turn left at Valle. Then R37 + R36 and R40 to Geilo and Gol. Then R7 to Valdres and then R51 over another fantastic mountain area called Valdresflya. Turn left when you reach the valley on the other side of the mountain. Then R15 and R63 and you will Reach Geiranger and later Trollstigen - two places you cannot miss.

Sorry I tried to make a route map but wasnt able to make a link to it.....
