Fosen is a peninsula and is much larger than you might think.
It consists of 7 municipalities and has many great roads and experiences for a motorcyclist.
Coastal landscapes and steep mountainsides, rock formations and deserted stretches of road, here it is time and the road that is the destination.
Narrow fantastic roads lead you around Fosen in varied terrain.
On the windless sunny days, the fog comes quickly, so pack some warm clothes.
Follow county road 710 from Bårdshaug Herregård and drive a little over an hour along the sea to Valset Ferjekai.
In the summer, the ferry runs every hour and the crossing to Brekstad takes 30 minutes.
At the exit, you still follow the same county road through the village of Botngård in Ørland Municipality and then take county road 721 and follow it until you reach the exit to Lysøysundet on county road 86.
The terrain is flat and expansive, with cornfields and agricultural landscapes in all directions when you start, changing along the way with small forests and rocks the further towards the sea you get.
Lysøysundet is a great place to stop for a cup of coffee.
From Lysøysundet, drive back to Botngård, where you turn off onto county road 710.
Here you’ll find roads that are a dream for classic motorcycles, with wide roads and clear terrain that, after a few kilometers, turns into more dirt forest and hilly landscape.
This is a nice stage until you reach Krinsvatnet and head towards Rissa on county road 715.
After a few kilometers, you turn off on county road 718 and again on county road 133 until you reach one of Fosen’s finest stops, Råkvåg.
The place is known for its heyday in herring fishing and for having Norway’s longest row of piers outside the cities.
At Marthabrygga or Landnota Bar & Spiseri, you can enjoy a good meal while the engine and driver get a little rest.
Feeling good and full, you drive on to County Road 718 and embark on perhaps the finest stretch of the entire trip, a great hour along the fjord with fantastic soft bends and magnificent views, until you reach Rørvik ferry terminal.
The ferry back across the fjord runs every half hour for most of the day and takes approx.
25 minutes.
The last stage goes to the right along county road 707 over Byneset and towards the E39 and Bårdshaug Manor.
