In the middle of the island, protected by houses and on the island's highest point, you will find the little red stave church, standing as it has stood since appr year 1300. It has ever since been a meeting point in happy times and also in sad times. The altarpiece was donated by the Netherlands princess Elisabeth in gratitude for her rescue at sea by Norwegian sailors during a violent storm in 1515. The wall paintings date back to appr 1620.

5. Geiranger Skywalk - Dalsnibba

We took a Mt Dalsnibba moutain bus trip with Fjordservice to the top of this mountain, reasonably priced. The journey was beautiful as you started at the green fjord with waterfalls at Geiranger, through green pastures and waterfalls on this winding road, then through tundra with more and more snow until you got to the top of Mt. Dalsnibba with its snow covered rocky peaks. This road goes through some of Norway's best scenery. We were lucky to have a clear day, although the clouds rolled in while we were there. I was amazed at the skill of our driver as the steep road is too narrow in places for two vehicles to pass so one has to stop at the wider sections. I can't imagine driving this in bad weather. This skywalk was just opened in 2016 and provides a nice viewing platform for a panoramic view of the scenery around you. You can see down to our starting point in one place. Even in summer, there is some snow here. Part of it is a toll road. There is a nice gift shop at the top and picnic tables. Very cool. I liked passing Djupvatnet, a beautiful lake with a hotel.
6. Kvalvik Fort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 28 reviews
Kvalvik Fort is situated on Kvalvik, Frei. It is one of Norway's best preserved coastal fortifications from the Second World War. There was also a submarine station here during the war. The fort is still intact and many people spend a long time exploring the bunker, canons and other objects from the war. Through agreement with the cultural office, guided trips in various languages are offered. The area is maintained by the municipality in close cooperation with Kvalvik Fort's Friends. The fort has a beautiful location and is a great spot for fishing and barbecuing. The area is well adjusted for wheelchair users. Several information boards.

8. Varden the Molde Panorama
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
From the Varden viewpoint (407 metres above sea level) there is a good view of the town of Molde, the fjord and islands and the famous Molde panorama with its 222 partially snow-clad peaks. On clear days you can see as far as the fishing village of Ona and the dreaded waters of Hustadvika. Ten minutes by car or an hour's walk along the nature trail from the centre of Molde. The Vardestua restaurant is at the top and marked trails take you into the Moldemarka countryside.

We drove up the mountain although if you like you can hike up, steep climb but plenty of places to rest. The view at the top is Spectacular on a clear day you may be able to see the 222 mountains peaks unfortunately our day was cloudy so we only got to see ( 111) Lol. No all jokes aside you will not be disappointed. At our visit the restaurant was closed so for toilet make your arrangements.

So beautiful town: colorful houses, flowers on the facades, leaf ornaments, forged twisted patterns, turrets in the corners. Guided tour with Uniktur is a good idea to get to know this town closer.
