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.
Between Water and Rock – a cycling holiday along the Oslo Fjord
Vast scenery, sparse population and – on request – longer routes turn a cycling holiday in Norway into a very special experience. Despite the rural surroundings and the apparent solitude this country offers cyclists an excellent infrastructure. The well-developed tracks with very little traffic, excellent service and friendly individual care match the conditions we at Eurobike request for our guests. Our route leads you along the Olso Fjord from the Drammen, situated about 100 km inland, via Norway’s oldest town Tønsberg to Sandefjord. There you cross the fjord and embark on a short detour to Sweden, where amongst other things fresh seafood and several beaches await. Afterwards you proceed on the opposite side of this waterway, with a width of several kilometres, in three stages to Oslo, Norway's capital city.
