Sea and mountains

On this route, you follow Fv78 north from Mosjøen. The first part is on nice roads along the beautiful Vefsnfjord. After Toventunellen, turn right onto the Fv146 and after a short time you will reach the Levang ferry terminal. From there it's a short ferry ride over to scenic Nesna. At Nesna there are kayak rentals, diving opportunities and several rib excursions on offer, including sea eagle safaris. If it's hot, you can try out Northern Norway's largest water slide, and you can enjoy a delicious lunch at the Aurora restaurant.

It is recommended that GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off in order for the route to be calculated as described.

From Nesna, we drive an exciting road up Fv 17 and arrive at an upgraded rest area on Sjonfjellet with toilets, a large parking lot and a warming room with a beautiful view of the fjord Sjona and the islands of Lovund and Træna in outer Helgeland. There will also be an opportunity for a snack.

We continue along the Fv17 and arrive in the industrial town of Mo i Rana. Here you can drive to the Moholmen district where you'll find the city's oldest buildings, dating back as far as the 1600s. And nearby you'll find The Merman, Anthony Gormley's 10-meter-high sculpture that stands 15 meters out in the fjord. On the return trip, we recommend driving over Korgfjellet instead of through the Korgfjelltunnel. The road over the mountain has one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Nordland, with views of Okstindane to the east, Lukttinden to the west and parts of Svartisen to the north. Korgenfjellet Inn and Motel is located at the highest point on the road at 555 meters above sea level, and has catering facilities during the summer months. The last part of the road descends over the mountain and past some idyllic small lakes before you see the majestic Øyfjellet and return to Mosjøen and a good meal at Fru Haugans Hotel.
