Small ferry port that offers beautiful views of the fjord and Ålesund further in the distance. If you've ridden around the bay from Ålesund, and you don't fancy cycling back, you can get the ferry back from here.

Aksel Thalberg Holm (1890-1947) was born in Alesund and grew up in Molovein. He took over the company Oluf Holm A/S founded by his father and significantly expanded the business both at home and abroad. The main product was medicinal oil. The company dominated the world market. When war broke out in 1940, Holm was German consul and member of the Presidium. He gained a central position when the Presidium asked him to negotiate with the squatters, a task for which he received great thanks from the city's judicial authorities. For this legacy, as well as for his donations to the cultural life in the city, the municipality has the opportunity to connect this place. [ Source: https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=243247 ]
