If the idea of riding on a roadway that twists and turns feet above the crashing Atlantic Ocean appeals to you, then you need to take drive on Atlantic Ocean Road in Norway. Long considered one of the most dangerous roadways because of the dangerous turns and twists, the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean adds another element of danger to the mix.
This unique highway is considered one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Norway, a must do on the bucket list of extreme thrill seekers.
The reason the Atlantic Ocean Road is such a rush for drivers is because it never feels the same way twice. The road feels similar to riding a narrow roller coaster, with the added thrill of crashing ocean waves that spill over your vehicle at certain key locations along the drive. Even if you have ridden the roadway before, you simply can not anticipate what surprises are in store for you around each and every turn.
At one point you are several feet above the ocean looking down at this majestic view, only to come driving down the steep hill right to sea level where the ocean can put on quite an incredible display.
There are key points along the road where you can pull over and simply admire how the other vehicles try to navigate the crashing waves onto the road. Take this trip during the winter in Norway, and you are sure to get up close and personal with severe winds that will make you feel like you are about to be pushed over the edge and into the raging seas.
