Kystriksveien

This stretch takes you from Steinkjer to Vennesund (Brønnøysund), where rugged islands, historic fishing villages, and untamed nature unfold along the way. You’ll pass through charming coastal towns like Namsos, with its lively harbor and timber heritage, Rørvik, home to the fascinating Norwegian Coastal Museum, and the hidden gems of Kolvereid and Leka, an island steeped in Viking legends and dramatic geology. As you drive, we’ll share stories of the people, landscapes, and traditions that shaped this coastline. From ancient seafaring history to the forces of nature that carved these islands, every mile has a tale to tell. So settle in, let the ocean views guide you, and enjoy the journey, one story at a time. You can listen to the guide before your journey for inspiration and planning—or revisit the stories later, to relive the magic from home.
