Am off to Scandinavia in 2023, likely mid June through to late July. I have a loose travel plan, but am very flexible with the route. Current idea is, Hirtshals/Kristiansand, then following the Fjords and coast ish, all the way to the Nordkapp. Returning through Finland and Sweden. Most of my mileage will be in Norway and Sweden, however I don’t want to miss out on things to see and do in Denmark and Finland.
I have pencilled in lots of the usual tourist stuff (in no order),
Trollstigen
Atlantic Ocean Road
Lysebotn
Silver Moose in Atna
Hell
Lofoten Islands
A
Gerainger
Vildmarksvagen
Rovaniemi
Oresund Bridge
That really long tunnel?
So many waterfalls (which ones are must see?)
Etc etc
I know we have many Scandinavian members on here and am hoping they and others can give some local knowledge, places that are worth a visit away from the usual tourist areas, must do roads, must see places that might not be as well known.
I particularly enjoy the wilderness, mountains, lakes, mountain passes, spectacular scenery. I enjoy photography and plan to make the best of my time in Scandinavia. Please note though, I have little or no off road experience or skills and my bike is set up for tarmac, however I’m happy and confident to take on simple non tarmac roads, just NO mud, sand or ruts, please.
I like to get a full day off of the bike about once a week, any suggestions on bigger towns/cities that are interesting and good for a days wandering (and laundry).
A bit about me as it might help with responses, I’ll be 61 at time of travel, am experienced with European bike travel and have been riding for 42 years, always owning a bike in that time, I’ll be travelling solo.
Lastly, I have lots of other questions/enquiries, which I will post at a later time, I hope you don’t mind.
Thanking you in Advance
