Fv17 is a road in Norway running approx. 650km from Steinkjer to Bodø. It is also known as the Kystriksveien or the Coastal Route.

General Info

Hitching the Kystriksveien can be a great way to see the northern coast of norway and/or approach the North (Tromsø, Lofoten, Nordkapp).

Because it is an official ‘scenic route’, there are many tourists from within and beyond Norway specifically following the road, as well as in and out from its major attractions. This can make it very pleasant to hitch.

Major Stops

  • Steinkjer

Road 17 technically starts at Asp, a little way out of the actual centrum, but this is the first city on the way. Catch a ride to Asp, where the road begins, and you should have an easy time hitching to Namsos and beyond. Right where the road begins there is place for the car to stop.

  • Namsos

First (small) city of the Fv17.

  • Høylandet
  • Ferry: Holm-Vennesund
  • Brønnøysund

This is the town that cars pass through or stop at on the way to Torghatten, the mountain with a hole through the middle. So it’s quite easy to catch a ride to and from Torghatten, or in and out of Brønnøysund.
