Adventure North Cape ANC2201 - erstmals seit 2019
Edelweiss Bike Travel ist zurück in Norwegen und das erste Abenteuer Nordkap seit 2019 ist unterwegs. Eine große Gruppe von 20 Gästen schaffte es trotz einiger Flugprobleme rechtzeitig nach Ålesund. Heute Morgen startete die Gruppe bei typischen Sommerbedingungen an der Westküste – grauer Himmel und etwas feucht. Aber das war uns egal, da die Landschaft sowieso fabelhaft ist. Angela führte eine Gruppe von 17 Motorrädern von Ålesund entlang an Fjorden und über Pässe nach Sunndalsøra. Die heutige Fahrt drehte sich viel um Trolle, da sowohl die berühmte Trollleiter gefahren, als auch die Trollwand besichtigt wurde.
This day is all about Costal Road 17 and includes three ferry rides on our way to Sandnessjøen. Even thoug it was a bit cloudy the scenery along the Helgeland Coastline is breathtaking and the roads are entertaining.
The day started with a moist raid from Svolvær to the ferry dock in Fiskebøl. There where a bit of sea, so we had to tie the bikes down during the short voyage to Melbu. From there we went to Stokmarknes where we visited the museum of the Hurtigruten - the ferry line that has connected the coast from Bergen to Kirkenes since 1893.
We left Harstad in the morning sun, and for the first day on this tuor the sun kept on shining on us througout the day... ...and into the night. We are now really in the land of the midnight sun!
Today we reached North Cape! After many wet days we very lucky enough to get calm winds and a sunny 20C/68f on our way. What a gloriuos day it was!
Finnmark Plain is the core area of the sami rain herding culture. To day we rode across the plain from Lakselv via Karasjok and Kautokeino, befor we crossed into Finlans Lappland. In Karasjok the Sami museum was visited, and in Kautokeino we went by JuhlsSilversmith. Both interesting places that gives an insight to the sami culture.
