Springtime in Romsdal – A visit to Klungnes by the Romsdalsfjord

It was late May when I visited Klungnes and my homeplace Isfjorden in Romsdal for a weekend trip. The spring light and views over the Romsdalsfjord made the visit special, with photo stops and a short exploration of this scenic fjord landscape.

It was a sunny weekend, and on saturday I went on a short photo-trip to Klungnes, one of my favourite photo-spots in the neighbourhood.

The distance from our cabins to Klungnes is 15 kilometers. I had several stops on the way, and below you can see some photos from the short trip I had.

Klungnes is a small cozy village at the end of a two kilometer long dead-end-road between Åndalsnes and Molde. The view to the Romsdalsfjord and the surrounding mountains is beautiful.

Åndalsnes and the inner part of the Romsdalsfjord is a “hub” with short distance to many great nature attractions in the county of Møre og Romsdal. You have Trollstigen, the Troll Wall (Trollveggen), Romsdalseggen and Rauma Railway around you. You can also reach the Atlantic Road, Eikesdal, Geiranger and the Geirangerfjord, and the cities of Ålesund, Molde, Kristiansund is just a couple of hours drive away.

Romsdalsfjord – What to See and Do

From snowy mountains to beautiful coastline of islands and reefs. Experience all this in one day due to the short distance from mountains to coast. Trollstigen, Trollveggen and Rampestreken are great places to visit in the inner part of the Romsdalsfjord, where the fjord meets the spectacular and alpine Romsdal mountains. The Romsdalsfjord is located in the county of Møre og Romsdal, north in Western Norway.
