Nordic tradition and coastal idyll
This cycling tour takes you along the picturesque Oslo Fjord through Norway and Sweden – from Oslo, via Drammen, Horten and Fredrikstad to Moss. You will cycle along quiet cycle paths and roads through coastal landscapes, charming fishing villages and forests. The Viking graves at Borre, Edvard Munch's house in Åsgårdstrand and the historic fortress at Fredrikstad are just a few of the many highlights along this wonderful route.
Northern Lights in mild summer nights
Despite Norway’s location temperatures along the entire coastal region are moderate. The reason for this is the moderate influence of the Gulf Stream and the maritime climate in the coastal regions which the climate depends on. Nevertheless summer is best suited for cycling holidays – unless you are very keen to spend long winter nights near the polar circle and with a bit of luck, observe the amazing Aurora Borealis – the spectacular northern lights! Chances are also good to see them during the months of September and October if you prefer. You can witness this extraordinary spectacle of nature at least once a week on average in this period, whereas outside of this time frame you might have to wait for weeks to see them.
