The county of Rauma in Romsdal is quite large by Norwegian standards, totalling almost 7400 citizens. Stretching from the eastern point of Verma to Vågstranda in the west, Trollstigen on the southern border with Sunnmøre and Mittet in the north, covering an area of over 1500 square kilometers. You find some of Norways most famous tourist attractions here; Trollstigen, Trollveggen, Romsdalshorn, Romsdalsfjord, Romsdal Alps and Rauma River are well known for most of us.
The centre of Rauma is Åndalsnes, called "the Alp town by the fjord". The first cruiseships came to Åndalsnes as early as 1883. It's location in between the impressive mountain sides bides for a fantastic view. Travelling by road, there are plenty of nice picnic and service areas by the fjord.
Enjoy your breakfast in the company of proud cruiseships!
