NORWAY – Charged up to the North Cape
Road trip with expedition vehicle and e-bike
We have traveled 444,000 kilometers on Mother Earth so far, and that’s without flights. When we drove to the North Cape with our expedition vehicle “Terra Love” and e-bikes, an indescribable natural paradise awaited us: a land of superlatives. A land of fjords, waterfalls, trolls, moose, reindeer, sperm whales and a paradise of northern lights.
As soon as we had crossed the border, it closed behind us due to rising coronavirus numbers. We were almost alone on the road for six months. We marveled at autumnal steppes, deserted, sometimes moon-like landscapes and eternal forests, shrouded in billowing wafts of mist and ghostly cloud formations. We crossed some of the 188 mountains, passed some of the 300, sometimes raging mountain rivers, many of the impressive waterfalls, 50 fjords and 150,000 islands, which together with the mainland form a coastline of over 100,000 km.
What a journey! A journey that catapulted us into regions that we hadn’t even remotely expected. We experienced exceptional hospitality, crossed Europe’s largest continental glacier Josdedalsbreen on our e-bikes, swam in the Arctic Ocean and saw the evening sun reflected on the skin of a surfacing sperm whale. We climbed lighthouses, hiked along dangerous mountain trails, sat on thin rock needles 1,000 meters above the abyss and warmed ourselves by the campfire on starry nights.
In the land of the Vikings, we followed in their footsteps. We experienced a winter with ice, snow and gale-force winds. We used many of the 100 ferry connections, crossed numerous of the 22,700 bridges and drove through countless of the 900 road tunnels, including the Lærdalstunnel, which is the longest at 24.5 km, and the Ryfylketunnel, which at 290 m is the deepest in the world. An impressive, almost fairytale-like country, with extreme weather conditions, full of adventure, myths and romance, which took our breath away every minute with its wilderness, cold steppes, national parks and bird sanctuaries.
The crowning glory: the North Cape without people, auroras soon lighting up the sky above us every day, e-bike tours on the snow-covered island of Senja, which lies 350 km north of the Arctic Circle. It was an unforgettable trip and certainly one of the best we have ever made.
The informative and sensitive narrative captivates the reader. Written in an entertaining, humorous and captivating way, the adventurers provide deep insights into today’s Norway.
