Molde,  Norway
Known as the `town of roses` Molde, in Romsdal county, lies near the spectacular Romsdalfjord. Molde is surrounded by a range of more than 80 mountains, which protects it from freezing north winds while its coastline is warmed by the gulf Stream. Thus Molde, which lies at latitude 62°, enjoys a relatively mild climate compared with other nearby towns. Established in 1742, Molde suffered heavy German bombing during World War II, and large areas of the town had to be reconstructed. The current population of Molde is some 21,000 inhabitants.
