Not entirely sure what Mr. BonBonB did with the theme settings, but if you follow the settings guide below, the map will look like in the pictures here (grey rocks and mountainsides) and NOT as shown in the video.

Edited the map description a little.

No DLC’s are required.

This is my first attempt to make a map, and I think it turned out quite decent if I might say so myself.
I first visited "Trollstigen" as a child, and I fondly remember me and my brother "swimming" in the river behind the kiosk that was there back then. The water was freezing (just a few degrees) as it was melted snow from the mountains. But we loved it.

I have tried to make the map as true to IRL as possible, but I have also adjusted road network etc. for playability.
The map is based on the area around the city of Åndalsnes (pop: 2.500 approx) so the build space is not huge. But there are several areas around the map where one can build up small "towns".

There are quite a few (ok, a lot of) bushes, roads, trees and mod’s to sub to, but unless you are running on a potato you should be fine. Se link to the One click collection below. Strictly speaking there are maybe a mod or two(like 81 tiles mod) you could do without, but I have chosen to include them all as I feel they are needed to get the best experience. For all the different mod settings, se below.

Water, sewage and electricity are plentiful and already laid and in place for your convenience, all you have to do is connect them. See the picture above in the images for how to connect them.

The Trolls’ Path (Norwegian: Trollstigen]) is a serpentine mountain road and pass in Rauma Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

It is part of Norwegian County Road 63 that connects the town of Åndalsnes in Rauma and the village of Valldal in Norddal Municipality. It is a popular tourist attraction due to its steep incline of 10% and eleven hairpin bends up a steep mountainside. During the top tourist season, about 2,500 vehicles pass daily.
The road was opened on 31 July 1936, by King Haakon VII after eight years of construction at the cost of 1,8 mill Nok. The road is narrow with many sharp bends, and although several bends were widened during 2005 to 2012, vehicles over 12.4 metres (41 ft) long are prohibited from driving the road.

Last, but not least a shout out to @agusingnavy for his "69 | Mass Transit DLC" that was used for base/inspiration for the main intersection on the map.
