Hello
Myself and a friend are planning on cycling across Northern Europe and Scandanavia next summer. For me it is the first leg of a proposed trip around the world.
Our planned route is through France - Belgium - Holland - Germany - Denmark - Germany - Poland - Lithuania - Latvia - Estonia - (Russia) - Finland - Sweden - Norway (finish in Bergen)
Has anyone done a trip like this before? Can you give any advice about some of these countries (beyond Germany, I have ridden in the first 5 before.) Also, does anyone have any recommendations for really fantastic cycling routes in any of the countries (like the west coast of Holland)
Has anyone ridden in Norway, I have heard there are some roads that go through the mountains that are impassable by bike due to going through long tunnels? And what are the conditions like in summer, will there be ice on the roads in summer etc?
Finally, does anyone have any spare maps of these countries that are no longer required?
Muchos gracias
