Circumnavigating the Baltic

Tiger all loaded up ready for departure tomorrow morning. I’ll be heading up through Germany, Denmark and Sweden touching on the Arctic Circle, then down through Finland and the Baltic States, from where I will board a ferry to Kiel, and home from there.

I reckon two weeks should suffice - 2,5 at most. I’ll update daily! :grinning_face: My routes through Finland are mostly thanks to the brilliant tips I got from @Arctic_fox ! :slightly_smiling_face:

Day 1

Left early and pointed Tiger towards Germany. Save some heavy traffic around Hamburg all was plain sailing to Puttgarden, Germany from where I booked my ferry to Rødby.


A 45 minute crossing, and I found myself in Denmark. I booked a place to stay about 60 miles from the ferry. Once off the motorway the countryside is really pretty here.


Digs for tonight:

Then of course a flag added to the collection…

And now:

400 miles is a good days riding Wim.. The weather looks good as well. I found Denmark a bit flat, but as you say some pretty spots. :melting_face:

It is - I’d call it “undulated” rather than hilly. Weather’s good though, that’s always a win! :grinning_face:

We’ll be looking forward to yours next month, too! :grinning_face:

It’s probably more “undulated” than Holland…!

Have a brilliant trip.

day 2

Left early, and made for “the bridge”. No pictures as you can’t stop on it, but impressive!
Into Sweden on some nice roads.

A nice castle, too:


Very pretty countryside.

Then to stay with friends.
Good day.

Day 3

Started the day with some coffee, and got on the road. No motorways, just N roads, which are good - great surfaces, and very little traffic. The area I’m in currently is not that good for views though, as most roads cut through the dense forests. Every so often you catch a glimpse of a nice lake.

A lock in a small town…

Another glimpse…

Now in a “Stuga” in the small town of Norberg. Further North tomorrow!
