THE NAMDAL COAST – Wild, active and challenging Namdalskysten 1/1 ���� This adventure coastline – with the wild and beautiful stretch of water known Folla – is the Kingdom of the Thousand Isles! This is a world of contrasts – the wild ocean with a multitude of islands, surrounded by white sandy beaches and enveloped in the special light that so many come here to experience. Not much sepa- rates the sea from the sky out here on the coast, just small and strangely fertile strips of granite. The exception is the saga isle of Leka, a characteristic reddish yellow serpentine rock rising from the sea – a geological marvel with parallels to Cyprus and New Zealand.

This island landscape offers a range of maritime activities: Ocean paddling among the many islets, sailing and ocean rafting. There are plenty of opportunities for fishing – the area is particularly well-known for its rich stocks of spawning cod. However, you can also enjoy the open ocean towards Folla from land, for instance while cycling or rambling.

The contrasting landscape of the countryside is richly spiced with historical sites and exciting attractions. Visit Northern Europe’s first known cave paintings on the island of Leka, historic fishing villages WILD, ACTIVE AND CHALLENGING! such as Sør-Gjæslingan and Nordøyan that welcome visitors, to say nothing of Norveg in the coastal town of Rørvik, the Millenium Site in Nord-Trøndelag and coastal Norway’s most spectacular construction!

felt, then these can be satisfied in full in the coastal Media Trio town of Rørvik, in Namsos or in “Norway’s smallest town” of Kolvereid! Need we say more?

The ferries along Kystriksveien provide the opportunity to relax from driving your car. Some ferry trips take 10 minutes, others an hour. On the two longest you can buy dinner. All ferries have a cafeteria.

TRAVEL TIPS If you travel on a tight schedule it is advisable to check the routes on www. rv17.no before you leave. Some ferries accept credit cards, but not all. Take some cash with you. It is not possible to book your car onto the ferries along Kystriksveien. You should therefore arrive approx. 30 mins. before departure time in the high season.
