Varden Path Hike
On this strenuous-rated hike that climbs to Varden Point, approximately 1,200 feet above sea level, you'll walk amidst wooded foliage on a on a gravel terrain. A few scattered benches dot the trail, if you wish to stop and rest. You'll be rewarded with dazzling views of varied and dramatic landscapes, and at the top, take in the cityscape of Molde, the Nordic fjord and the 222 snowy peaks of Romsdal Mountains.

The Romsdal Museum
One of the most comprehensive folk museums in Norway, the open-air Romsdal Museum, established in 1912, displays buildings and interiors of pre-World War II houses that celebrate the history and architecture of the region. Stroll down a typical town street and explore the surrounding greenspace centered on a tranquil duck pond.

What you will see along the way:
Molde is a charming fjord town established in the 15th century, with wonderful local color and picturesque views of 222 mountain peaks. Much of the city's architecture is modern, including the Aker football stadium and the dramatic glass Scandic Seilet Hotel. But there are quaint squares and historic buildings, including the Molde Cathedral, as well. Nicknamed the Town of Roses, Molde's charms are as plentiful as the fragrant gardens that bloom throughout the city.

Photo Opportunity:
Reknes Hill
The vistas from Reknes Hill are another opportunity to view the town of Molde from another scenic perspective.
Snack:
After working up an appetite, tuck into refreshments, coffee, tea and Norwegian pancakes, served at the museum's outdoor café.
