Molde, Norway & Norwegian Local Buses

[Tom and Ingrid]

We are stopping in Molde, Norway on our cruise at the end of this July.  We would like to hike up to the Trollkyrkja (Troll Church) caves, however, I am not positive how easy it is to get to the trailhead from Molde - without a car.

 

I see that there is a bus route (the 510 and 512) that passes past the parking area for the trailhead, so I think I could easily sort out finding a way from Molde to the parking lot by bus.  What I am not sure about is how the RETURN trip would work - ie making sure we can catch a bus from the lot back to Molde.  It's difficult to ascertain if the bus stops there or you need to flag it down or find a specific spot for it to see you & stop.  My guess is that it is super simple and folks do it all the time, but obviously, the last thing I want to do is get to the hike, and then mess up and struggle to find a way back to the cruise ship in the afternoon. 

 

Any one done this hike, used the buses, or have general insight into bus travel in the Norwegian countryside? Or any other general tips?  I did load the FRAM app on my phone, and it looks relatively straightforward. Likewise, there looks like there is a bus depot in Molde that might have helpful info.
