Otta to Måløy on the Rv15

Description

Looking to enhance your Norwegian road-trip? Get our guide for the Rv15 from Otta to Måløy!

The Rv15 is a fantastic highway to know when road-tripping through Western Norway. The major tourist roads in some way connect to the Rv15, which runs from Otta in the east to Måløy on the west coast. The scenery is dramatic; steep mountain peaks, gorgeous fjords, and historic valleys. There are a number of important historic sites here, such as Lom Stave Church and the Viking discoveries near Nordfjordeid, so be sure to take your time and enjoy all the possible detours. While an ancient road has been here for hundreds of years, the modern road was completed in stages between the 1920s and the 1990s. Part of the highway replaces the historic trade road Gamle Strynfjellsvegen, which today is a tourist road.

This guide will:

• Answer the question “How do people live here?”
• Provide you with historic images and stories relevant to where you are
• Give you practical tips such as – where’s the nearest toilet? When can I get a hot dog? You know, the important stuff.
• Show you interesting points where you can stop to stretch your legs or get beautiful photos of Norway
• Give you information about museums (including opening hours), attractions, and major points of interests that you can visit

This guide won’t:

• Drive for you (Sorry, we aren’t that advanced yet)
• Give you accommodation tips (this guide assumes you know where you are staying already). If you want accommodation tips, visit our (free) online travel guide https://thehiddennorth.com/norway
• List experiences (think of this guide as more of a fun, informative directory. If you want to know what you can do, head to our free online travel guide)
• Detailed overview of hikes. We do list famous hikes, but don’t provide much information each one. This guide is purely for the A to B. Again, head to our free online travel guide for that information.
• Give you a detailed map overview. We have a basic map guide, but if you are looking for something detailed, I recommend buying one online! (click here for my recommendation)
