The boardwalk is the obvious draw, a tourist attraction stretching about four miles along the coast with a diverse mass of humanity -- rich and poor, young and old, black and white, families and miscreants -- tromping up and down the wooden slats.
It is also one of 18 National Tourist Routes that aim to draw visitors to all corners of Norway, by pairing beautiful drives with world-class architectural viewing points that effortlessly blend nature with modernity.
