A causeway of bridges leaping between Atlantic skerries.
The Atlanterhavsvegen threads a chain of low bridges and causeways across the skerries between Kårvåg and Vevang, the curling Storseisundet bridge its signature. Sublime in any weather, calm one minute, storm-lashed the next; mind the crosswinds, the fishing pull-offs, and waves over the road in a gale.
A low ribbon of bridges hopping between skerries, rising and dipping with the swells. Salt spray one day, calm and silver the next, we love it either way.
