KYSTRIKSVEIEN

Kystriksveien - the coastal route of Northern Norway

Welcome to Kystriksveien (The Coastal Road) stretching from Steinkjer to Bodø - a total of 650 km. This is a scenic road and most of the stretch is a National Scenic Route. You can expect breathtaking views and you will cross the Arctic Circle along the way. There are thousands of islands along this coastline and you should take the time to visit a few of them. The express boat between Bodø and Sandnessjøen allows you to visit some of the more remote islands during summer. You may bring your bike along as well (for free). Allow yourself at least 4-5 days to explore Kystriksveien.
