Molde, often referred to as the Town of Roses, lies on Tomsdalfjord, blessedly sheltered from the northerly winds.
Transfer by coach to the Varden Viewpoint via the main roads of the city's commercial district. You'll learn that the city of Molde was largely destroyed during World War II, but a modern city rose from the ruins. Residential areas with detached wooden houses are surrounded by carefully-tended gardens.
You'll hike the wooded Varden Path for about an hour before reaching the Romsdal Open-Air Museum. This facility is a clutch of typical farmhouses from Counties Møre and Romsdal. Enjoy a traditional snack of a Norwegian pancake here, along with coffee and tea, served at an outdoor café.
From Reknes Hill, take in the view over the town of Molde from another angle and return to the pier on foot.
Notes:
Children under the age of 3 must be secured in a child's car seat on the transportation. These are not available through the tour operator; you must bring your own from home. Wear sturdy walking shoes. The walk is strenuous, but mostly downhill.
