Eurotrip 16, 2026 – Day 41 – 42, Nordfjord and onwards to Malmefjord

Summary

Day 41 and we delayed our travels north for 24 hours. We had a beautiful pitch at Arskogvika Camping near Lote so we decided to chill for the day by the Fjord. Nordfjord is the sixth longest fjord in Norway and is the central feature of the entire Nordfjord region. It is up to 106km long, 2.5km wide and 565m deep. Currently the water temperature is around 13C and there were several brave souls swimming.

Today we awoke to a clear and sunny day across Nordfjord with the temperature just ok to eat breakfast by the water.

Fortunately, Moe had read reviews for our next stop, Kviltorp Camping in Molde and apparently the site is full as it is the Molde Jazz festival this week. Plan B was the lovely Bjolstad campsite a few miles North on Malmesfjorden.

We have another location with amazing views across the Fjord.

Todays journey was 104 miles in about 6 hours elapsed time. This included 3 ferries along the E39. The Flyt tag (also linked to the Auto Pass Ferry account) appears to be working. We just drive on and off the boats without interference. Must check my Autopass account but we are supposed to be saving about 50% on each crossing.
