Scandinavia: travelogue summer 2002
We outline a long route through Scandinavia, through Denmark, Sweden and Finland to the North Cape. But we are most delighted about Norway and especially the island groups in the north. From the North Cape we descend to the south along the fjords and islands. It is a fantastic trip and when it comes to natural beauty, Norway is now first on our list! With more than 11,000 kilometers in 25 days, it is also the longest journey so far.
