Touring Scandinavia
 

So the the idea of touring Scandinavia jumped through my head a few nights ago. Please tell me about your experience.

Touring Scandinavia
 

If you love forests and lakes you're good to go!

Wild camping is legal in Sweden (and Norway? Finland?). The roads are low traffic with good shoulders. Food from stores is a bit more expensive than in the USA. Everything in Norway is much more expensive than just about anywhere else on the planet :/

Bike theft even happens here, so don't get lulled into complacency. Lots of mosquitoes in summer (less so in Denmark).

Everyone speaks english.

All above is a bit generalised of course, regions vary, notably Denmark and the south of sweden are more flat with farmland and denser population. Distances between towns and villages increase the further north you get and the further inland and into the mountains.

Välkommen! :)

Haven't done it but am planning to (in semi-distant future). If you're going north in Norway to Nordcap, take the Atlantic Road which runs along the beautiful coast. Expect dozens of tunnels (from 30m to 6km in length, most are bike-passable but some are not) and expect to take ferries too. Oh yes, expect to have a great tour.

Down here in Southern Sweden it's pretty good for a moderate pace. It's fairly flat, with rolling hills, but can be quite windy near the coast. Towns are closely spaced, and you can take your bike on many of the trains (although they tend to be quite crowded).

Be sure to bring your passport and keep it handy if you're going to go from Denmark to Sweden by train or ferry!

In S coastal Norway you can follow the North Sea Cycle Route. Few wild camping opportunities until you round the southern tip, but plenty of commercial sites.
Food and drink is expensive, except for smoked mackeral.

Denmark has a network of cheap and low-cost small campsites, guidebook from tourist info.

It is a non-euro zone.
Mosquitoes are seasonal.
Expect cool, rainy conditions anytime.

Bicycle Touring Pro has been posting a lot of articles and videos on his blog/Youtube about touring Scandinavia lately.
