Overland. During the 2020 lockdown, the coupled travelled through Norway with their expedition truck, two Riese & Müller Superdelites and their dog Ajaci.

Denis and Ajaci at the North Cape.

» No sooner had we crossed the border than it closed behind us due to rising coronavirus case numbers. We were virtually the only people out and about for almost six months. We gazed in wonder at the autumnal tundra, deserted, somewhat moon-like landscapes and never-ending forests, surrounded by swirling clouds of mist and ghostly clouds. «

“The home of glaciers”: crossing the mountains of the Jostedalsbreen on E-Bikes.

» What a journey! A journey that catapulted us into regions we would not have expected in our wildest dreams. We experienced exceptionally warm hospitality, crossed the largest continental European glacier, the Josedalsbreen, with our E-Bikes, swam in the Norwegian Sea and saw the evening sun reflected on the skin of an emerging sperm whale. «

Aurora Borealis on the Lofoten Islands (archipelago north of the Arctic Circle in northern Norway).

» We followed in the footsteps of the Vikings in their native country. We experienced a winter with ice, snow and hurricane-force winds. An impressive, almost magical country, with extreme weather, brimming full of adventure, myths and romance. It took our breath away with its wilderness, tundra terrain, national parks and bird sanctuaries. «

At the North Cape, the northernmost point of Europe accessible by road.

» The crowning glory of our journey: the deserted North Cape, experiencing the Aurora Borealis lighting up the sky above us almost daily, and E-Bike tours on the snow-clad island of Senja, which lies 350 km north of the Arctic Circle. It was an unforgettable trip and certainly one of the most beautiful journeys we have ever undertaken. «
