The fjord of Romsdalsfjorden is the ninth-longest in Norway. It stretches for 88 kilometers and may be found in the Romsdal area in More og Romsdal County. Midsund, Haram, Vestnes, Molde, Nesset, and Rauma are all located along the Romsdalsfjord. The fjord is 550 meters deep at its deepest point, which is southwest of Molde. Romsdalsfjord splits into the smaller Fannefjord and the larger Langfjord, as well as the larger Romsdalsfjord itself.
Numerous small coastal communities, typically Norwegian in character, may be found in Romsdalsfjord. This could be the best path to take if you want to explore Norway. With a kayak, you can explore secluded bays inaccessible by car, visit quaint fishing communities, and experience nature in all its raw glory. In a single day, you can visit the region’s stunning beaches, reefs, and snowy mountains. Because of how close the mountains are to the shore, a day trip there may be jam-packed with amazing sights and experiences.
While the water in the Romsdalsfjord is rarely as warm as the Mediterranean, it can reach temperatures of over 20 degrees Celsius on a particularly hot summer day. Several locations in Romsdalsfjord are ideal for swimming and scuba diving; however, the beaches by the sand pit in Veblungsnes, Kammen in Andalsnes, and Saltkjelsneset Camping in Eidsbygda are among the most frequented. Trollstigen, Juratind, and other mountains in Romsdalen are great places to go summer skiing at the end of May and the start of July. A dip in the Romsdalsfjord after a day on the slopes is a great way to relax and unwind. The drive from the highlands to the fjord doesn’t take more than a few minutes.
There’s a lot to see and do while sea kayaking in Romsdalsfjord. Near the fjord’s entrance, steep and high mountains form a narrow corridor; further out, little islands and open water provide a welcome contrast. We have a rocky coastline with thousands of islands outside of Molde. From Isfjorden, a paddler can reach the coast in a day or two.
If river fishing is poor, many people choose an excursion to Romsdalsfjord instead. The journey out on the fjord is an adventure in and of itself, and the fishing can be excellent at times. In pleasant weather, there is no better way to unwind than in a secluded fjord while enjoying some shrimp and a cold beverage. As an alternative, you may try your hand at crawfish fishing in Isfjorden. Between Isfjorden and Andalsnes, the depth of the fjord does not exceed 40 meters. Crawfish pots are left for two to three days, and the maximum number of crawfish ever caught in a single set of seven pots is more than thirty.
