Molde Norway

Molde is a city and coastal town on the western side of Norway, situated on the Norwegian Sea. Due to the area's rugged topography, land access to the rest of the country is challenging, with maritime transport being heavily relied upon. The municipality is situated on the Romsdal peninsula, surrounded by the islands and fjords of Fannefjord and Moldefjord. The city is located on the northern shore of the Romsdalsfjord. The Varden viewpoint (407 meters above sea level) is located on the western summit of the mountain where the city is situated. Trollstigen (Troll's Ladder), located in Åndalsnes, is a road carved into the rock and reinforced with stone walls, featuring a total of eleven curves that lead to the top of the Stigrora (858 m.). The Mardalsfossen waterfall, standing at a height of 665 meters, is the fourth highest waterfall in the world. It is located in the Eikesdalen Valley. Atlanterhavsvegen is a road built on the islets of the Molde fjord.
