About this route

Norwegian Scenic Route Andøya runs along the outer edge of Andøya between Andenes and Bjørnskinn [82] [7702] [7698]. In the summer season there is a ferry between Andenes and Gryllefjord linking the Andøya and Senja scenic routes. The link leads to maps of ferry routes, click on the ferry icon in the map for timetables.

Together with Senja, Andøya is an outer alternative to [E6] and the Hurtigruten coastal express.

For cyclist: The route is relatively easy to cycle, but you should check the weather forecast, not to mention the wind speed and direction, before you decide where to start. Norwegian Scenic Route Andøya is part of National Cycle Route 1, which runs along the entire coast of Norway. From Bergen to Nordkapp the route also coincides with EuroVelo 1 «Atlantic Coast Route». The route is signposted.

No, you are not able to get the express rocket to the moon but at the museum you can find its true purpose: research the northern lights/ Aurora borealis. The picture is the experiment used to prove how northern lights work proven by the Norwegian Kristian Birkeland
