Malmefjorden is a picturesque fjord between Molde and Atlantic Road. We travel along an inlet between coastal villages. Stopover for a photo on request.

Eide municipality located on the Romsdal peninsula, along the Kornstadfjorden and the Kvernesfjorden, between Molde and Atlantic Road. The municipality is known for its traditional and modern marble quarries and related crafts industry.

The Atlantic Road is not only an improvement for transporting goods for the fishing industry but also a magnificent journey for anyone who wants to experience the unique combination of nature and engineering, whether by car, foot or bike.

The Atlantic Road stops on the island Averoy and smoothly passes into the Romantic Road. This road leads to the picturesque village Bud.

Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages. At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years. In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created. During World War II, the Germans heavily fortified Bud and the nearby Hustadvika coastal area in anticipation of an Allied invasion, as a part of the Atlantic Wall. In 1964, Bud Municipality was dissolved when it was merged into Fræna Municipality.

Optionally - lunch in the oldest fish tavern in Bud
