Kristiansund- Molde- Bergtatt- Kristiansund
This trip combines the experience of the beautiful Bergtatt marble caves and a visit to Kristiansund.
From Molde, the bus goes to the stop Brandsæter. There you will be picked up and taken to Bergtatt. After the visit you will be driven back to the bus stop to catch the bus via Kårvåg to Kristiansund
The marble caves are part of Naas Kalksteinbrudd, a working marble mine beyond the usual. In some of the tunnels that are no longer being excavated, a visitor’s center – Bergtatt (literally “taken (in) by the mountain) - has been opened. These caves function as a concert venue, as well as an attraction in itself.
The visit includes a boat tour on the caves’ crystal clear, captivatingly illuminated water. Well inside the mountain, you will be offered a drink of the pure mountain water directly from the mountain wall. After the boat tour you will visit the concert hall to see a video about the history of the mine and its current operation.
The trip continues to Kristiansund via the Atlantic Road and Kårvåg. With its location at the edge of the mighty ocean, the Atlantic Road is as beautiful in sunshine and calm weather as in full storm and rain.
The Atlantic Road connects Averøy with the mainland via a series of small islands and islets spanned by a total of eight bridges over 8274 meters. The road is a national tourist route.
Note! There is no stop at the Atlantic Road, but you can enjoy the view from your bus seat.
Kristiansund is Norway’s klippfisk («cliff fish») town, with rich traditions for bacalao and other klippfisk dishes, that are served in several restaurants in town. Kristiansund also has a varied cultural offering and a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. From “Varden” you have a splendid view of the town and if you want to further see Kristiansund by sea you can take a trip with Sundbåten.
