Kystriksveien (The Coastal Route), Norway

Kystriksveien - the coastal route along the Nordland coastline.

Welcome to Kystriksveien (The Coastal Route). According to National Geographic, one of the ’101 World’s most Scenic Routes. Allow yourself to travel slow and explore!

The total distance from Steinkjer to Bodø is 650 km, but there are plenty of opportunities for side-trips – not least out among the islands. Along the route you will encounter many famous landmarks, such as Torghatten, De Syv Søstre (The Seven Sisters mountain range), Svartisen glacier and Saltstraumen (world’s strongest whirlpools).

These amazing sites line the route and are easily accessible.

Several hundred islands are spread along the coastline of Kystriksveien, many of which are easy to visit by ferry; there are six ferry crossings along the road. At our website you will find the free Kystriksveien Guide Book and other planning tools.
