Nach der Fahrradtour zum südlichsten Punkt Europas ist es jetzt Zeit für eine Reise zum nördlichsten Punkt des Kontinents, dem Nordkapp. Mit seinem Vater hat sich Paul von Deutschland zum Nordkapp in Norwegen aufgemacht.
Von Dessau aus ging es über Magdeburg nach Travemünde und von Fehmarn und mit der Fähre nach Dänemark bis nach Kopenhagen. Entlang der schwedischen Westküste bis dann in Norwegen in die Wälder eingetaucht wurde. Entlang der Norwergisch-schwedischen Grenze ging es über Røros nach Trondheim. Der Europaradweg 1 führte uns dann weiter an Fjorden bis nach Bodø, von dort aus gab es eine Fähre nach Lofoten. Die wunderbare Landschaft wurde immer besser, auch als es mit der Fähre nach Senja und bis nach Tromsø ging. Dann war es nicht mehr weit, um über Alta bis zum Nordkapp und dem nördlichsten Punkt Europas zu radeln.

Hello, welcome to Pade Motion. My name is Paul and today we’re going on a bike tour again . Two years ago I cycled from Ilmenau to the southernmost point of Europe , to Tarifa. You can find the video in the video description. Last year I

Drove from Ilmenau to Dessau, this is the video you saw last week and now I’m driving with my father from Dessau to the Nordkapp, the northernmost point in Europe. Of course I wanted to take you on this trip again to show you the impressions of Germany,

Denmark, Sweden and Norway. And actually the first stretch from Dessau to Helsingborg is actually something we’ve driven before, we’ve driven before, this is the very first video on our channel where we drove to Helsingborg as a parkour group

For the Airwipp Summer Jam. This time we’re going a little further on the bike, but it’s definitely going to be very, very exciting. You can see the bike is empty and we have to pack it first. So now the bike is packed and it was supposed to start today but unfortunately

The whole thing has been postponed for another two weeks. But that shouldn’t be a problem because I can just cut things together and we’ve now set off on the way to the Aken ferry and today we’re going to Magdeburg. We actually have a strong headwind at first

, but since it’s not that far to Magdeburg, that shouldn’t be a problem. [Music] [No Sports – Harry Hands] So we are now on the way to Magdeburg. The wind today was really good and showed us what was waiting for us on the Norwegian coast.

We can actually see the spiers of Magdeburg Cathedral across the dike. Day 2. Today we’re actually just heading north into the Altmark. [Music] [Dr. Ring Ding, The Senior Allstars – Dandimite Ska] We are now in the middle of the Altmarkt, driving along a beautiful village road and today

There were about 85 km, but the wind was really bad. he was really bad today. Tonight Hello, it’s day 5. And today it’s going to be rainy. So now we have the first record of the tour on the day when it rains the most.

So the rain has stopped now, but unfortunately we have the problem that the flat tire doesn’t seem to have been properly repaired. Somehow there is still a lack of air or the air keeps going down, so we are now making a slightly longer stop

Just to repair it and somehow get it under control. Unfortunately, we’re not even on Fehmarn yet and we actually wanted to be on the ferry by now. But well, what can you do [Music] [Vulture Dive – Nevertheless] [Music] [Duck Soup – Mad Duck Bullit]

It’s a lot later than we hoped, but we’re finally in Denmark. That means we have left the first country with Germany behind us. And now we’ll probably go through Denmark in about three or four days. Let’s see how it goes. If things go like they did

This morning, probably longer. But fingers crossed that things are going better and we still have a nice tailwind right now and we want to take advantage of that as much as we can today. We have now arrived at Vordingborg and have actually

Found a halfway decent spot on the campsite that is windless. Because the wind really goes down, it really goes down. Wind speeds of up to 70 km/h are expected and the campsite is open to the sea and the wind comes from the sea.

That means it also has a lot of power, which is why the corner here behind the tree is actually quite nice. It was crazy windy, crazy windy, but let’s see what it looks like today. End of day 6 and we have reached the first big milestone.

Namely Copenhagen. Tomorrow we’ll have a rest day, rest a bit, relax our legs. Before we continue through Sweden towards Oslo I don’t know if you can see it, but there’s a pretty bad crack in here, so we have to change the tires now. It’s the same with my dad. So the new

Tire is on it, more air, my dad’s too. And hopefully that’s it for the tour We’ve already given ourselves plenty of time for repair stuff, but well, it’s better now in Copenhagen where we can repair something well than somewhere in the forest. We arrived in Sweden with the ferry from Elsinore

In Denmark over to Helsingborg in Sweden. And now we’re going a little further north along the coast, as far as we want to go. My knee is doing a bit of faxing, so we’ll have to see how far it can go.

Situation is somehow difficult right now. My knee has done a lot more faxing, it really hurts. Every step on the pedals really hurts. We are now at Ängelholm, we have worked our way 30 km from Helsingborg but we couldn’t go any further. We

Actually wanted to continue another 30 km towards Bastad, but we couldn’t, it hurts too much. Now we have to see what it is and it’s not the knee pain that I know from the Spanish tour where it was just so clear, yes, I

Rode a lot and it hurts, but it feels like an injury. But I hope it will still be good and we don’t have to break off because I wouldn’t be in the mood for that. Yes, as you can see the wall behind me is exactly the same. We took another

Rest day today because my knee was really not feeling well. Now the mood is, okay, if we start really slowly, maybe there’s a chance that the knee will get better and that we can maybe go further. That means for tomorrow we have a tour

Of really 25/30 km, which is really not far, but just to see how the knee goes and in the hope that you can then just slowly increase the distance again to bring it up again then move forward. So we’ve already lost two days because of this,

But in the end it’s the best thing we can do now without having to cancel. If it hurts so much that I feel like I’m in serious pain every time I press every pedal, then there’s a point somewhere where it doesn’t make sense. Especially not to drive 3000 km.

For tomorrow and probably for the next few days there is the good old ibobrufen tactic but that can’t be it, so we’ll see each other tomorrow at 25 km and the update on how the knee is doing [Music] [No Sports – Rudy]

The shock continues. Now the tent pole is pooped off and now the tent looks like this and I’m wondering why it can’t just work. Holds first. This is the conclusion from the test day with the knee. It is manageable. So it’s not perfect by any means. I can somehow deal

With it, the pain and everything. That’s why I have a bit of hope that it can continue. Of course it’s stupid now that we have a new quirk in it. There you see a new quirk. We have now repaired this with the stick because the pole simply

Broke on us. Somehow there’s a bit of a worm in it and it’s really a bit annoying, but it keeps going, slowly, but as long as it keeps going it’s fine. So we’ll see each other tomorrow. So we managed, bought a new tent because the old one was shit, it leaked straight up.

First rain in the tent it leaked through. Drove 60 km today, not much but twice as much as yesterday and it definitely feels okay with the knee. Things are progressing and I’m slowly getting hope again. But first put up the tent, fun as it always is.

So we are currently on the way out of Gothenburg. It’s day 14, exactly two weeks since we left. But now we are on a nice, straight cycle path, well it goes right next to the motorway, next to the E6. But it’s a cycle path that goes straight

Out for now and at some point later it goes onto country roads. Up to Gothenburg it was fairly flat but now it’s slowly starting to hill. Of course it’s a bit more strenuous but honestly it’s a bit fun. So we just took a break in Stenungssund and had lunch.

We’ve already covered 50 km and now it’s nice and the coast is easy to the north. We arrived at our camping spot, which was very idyllic and there was an orchard in front of it. Just finished lunch break and I have to say the weather is quite Swedish today,

Scandinavian, gray, a bit damp. It’s not raining heavily, in fact it’s just a bit of drizzle every now and then. So very manageable but cool, gray wind. Well, we ‘ll make the best of it.

So here is the border with Norway and we are officially in the last country of the tour. That doesn’t mean the tour is over, the main part is yet to come. It was definitely a tough stage today, 110 km, but especially the hills and the wind were gentle and made it tough.

Finally, the tent was set up on the castle hill. It’s really on the fortress here, actually quite idyllic. In the end, we’ve got everything set up, showered and now we’ll eat straight away and then we’ll continue through Norway. We actually changed the route. We no longer drive

Via Oslo because it is actually longer, but we drive completely along the national cycle route 9. It’s pretty close to the border with Sweden. Let’s see what awaits us there, I’m definitely up for it. Tomorrow we’ll really head to the border into the forest. [Music] [St. Petersburg Ska-Jazz Review – Monochrome Memories]

So now we have a new problem. We are at the campsite and the bike fell over and the brake handle broke. Basically things progressed and now something like this and it’s such a mess and it’s not that trivial to repair because of course it’s

The hydraulic brake. Such stress. That means either we find some way to replace or fix the handle or the entire brake system has to be replaced. Of course, we don’t have the tools for such a large operation . This is really a huge piece of crap, it’s

Just a mess. But again the summary: in the end the bike was knocked over by the wind and fell directly onto the brake handle and the brake handle broke off. We are now trying to get our bike repaired tomorrow either in the next town, which is about 3 km away.

Otherwise I just have to drive a day, 100 km, with a non-/half-functioning brake. Luckily the front brake works but then in Elverum that is where we will hopefully arrive the next day or tomorrow. Then there is a bike shop there where we can hopefully

Get the things to repair it, that’s our hope now. But in addition to all the things that sometimes go stupid, you have to say it’s beautiful here, you have a lake, you have mountains, you have forest, I think that’s why we do it and that’s exactly the beautiful thing about

The whole thing The brake system is new and it is a mechanical one using a Bowden cable and not a hydraulic one and that is now new and that and that is now hopefully in place and will not cause any more faxes. At this point, thanks to Larsen Sports nice.

Today we have a bit of a mountain stage, in fact we have already done most of the elevation gain for today. In any case, it’s very exciting – we just had asphalt and the road simply turns from asphalt road to gravel road. I don’t know how long, the next place where

There should definitely be a bigger road is about 15km. Hopefully it won’t be like this by then because that’s a bit annoying. Finally the road is asphalted again, much more pleasant than the Split. Good morning. One thing I really have to say is that we’re in the north but we’re

Not that far north and considering it’s July it’s really lousy cold. Yesterday it was 12-13°C all day, today it’s 9°C. Super annoying but oh well, whatever. It’s not just not getting any warmer further north, so we can

Actually come to terms with that now. We want to make it to Trondheim within the next two days , which is 230 km. That means you have to shoot a bit today and tomorrow . I think we have 120km planned today. [Music] [Malarians – Up and Down the Coalmine]

So, we’re in Trondheim. Half of the route is about done and we’re doing another rest of the day today. Relax your legs a bit before continuing north. [Music] [DWELLS – take off everything (kendrick x radiohead)] Yes and with that a warm welcome to day 24. After the break day, today we continue north.

Next bigger destination is Bodø [Music] [Bluekilla – One Minute Ska] We are now 30 km long along the coast and now we just go up over hills and then To get further

, one thing you have to say is clear: the view of the sea from the hill is amazing and of course the weather, which is finally playing along today. Last week it was rather semi or not nice, but today it’s really

Great and hopefully it will last for a few more days, that would be very, very pleasant. Once we arrive at the campsite we just have to put up the tent. New day tent is already packed up and everything is still being dismantled and drying but it’s straight back on the bike. First

Buy something in the supermarket and then continue along the road to the north. No ferry today. I don’t know if it’s the weather today but somehow I’m tired, my dad’s sluggishness too and all the hills we still have to take with us

Don’t really help and unfortunately we still have to take a few with us. So we arrived and were just setting up the tent. It was actually quite a hike today, even though it wasn’t that far, but somehow it was extremely humid. But

Well, we’ve done it now, put up the tent and you have to say it’s impressive here. There’s a beautiful mountain on the other side of the fjord, it’s really high, but it’s pretty here. As always, we continue north. We are now driving more along the coastal strip

Along the European Cycle Route 1 and the Norwegian National Cycle Route 1. We have been following this since Trondheim along the fjords, over the fjords, and there are also a few ferries on the way. But it’s also all quite mountainous and hilly.

A new day starts with an uphill climb, definitely a good warmup. But I mean okay, it’s going to go up and down a little bit now. The second half of today’s stage should be fairly flat or have smaller hills and that is definitely a ray of hope and today’s destination is Brønnøysund.

So we missed the one ferry by almost exactly two minutes, but luckily in the summer they now run every half hour and not just every hour like I thought. The weather is pretty wild, very foggy and cloudy. I think you can see it a bit.

This is a really cute campsite here. But from now on the sunshine is gone and the clouds come through and everything is cold and wet. Brrrrr. Yes, a wonderful good morning, we are again or still quite in the clouds this morning, but we are also busy making breakfast. We want to

Leave relatively early today. So compared to how we left before, but that’s simply because of the ferry times because we want to take three ferries, all of which have specific ferry times and with the distance in between, it simply works best if we take the ferry earlier.

And then we just have a quick breakfast, cycle 8 km and then take the first ferry. [Music] [Bad Manners – Mambo/Ska No.8] Yes, that brings us to ferry 2 of the day. It went pretty well because it was 18 km and we had 50 minutes, which isn’t a lot of time

And otherwise you would have had to wait an hour, but we managed it exactly and saved an hour. And the ferry actually takes a long way, it takes 45 minutes. That means now we have a lot of time to rest again and then we continue for another 70 km.

We made it onto the third ferry. Dude, we are really heated because otherwise we would have had to wait an hour. And the campsite is right at the place where the ferry arrives. Super finished but I think we’re getting there and we’re getting there comparatively well and that’s why we’re happy.

Now it’s just 300 meters straight up the mountain. And here are the sheep. The atmosphere in a tunnel like this is always really crazy. It now goes for over two and a half kilometers and if there is no car in it you can hear it

Just the echo of the wheels and when the car comes it sounds like this : . You just have a diffuse noise and it gets louder and louder and louder until it rushes past. And because it echoes so much on the walls, the noise from the cars is incredibly

Loud. And it’s cold in here too. Nice example here of a good tunnel, but the air is pushed through here so that the exhaust gases are not in the tunnel. Here there is a cyclist in the tunnel, press or push. Pressed that

. It’s just daytime, it’s probably better at night but it flashes. We are now back on a ferry that goes to Jektvik and we are about to pass the Arctic Circle which is pretty cool. Very cool, we made it over the Arctic Circle. You can also let

It melt in your mouth. Pretty cool, let’s go. [Music] [Laid Back – Sunshine Reggae 12” Version] It’s a new day, it’s actually quite early, 8:30 or so. It’s Sunday and the ferries don’t run much, just like the buses run on Sundays in Germany.

Have a beautiful good morning. Today is July 31st. That means we’ve been on the road for a month now. We left on the first of July. Today we’re going to Bodø. And one thing I can say is that the track is a bit dishonorable today. Because we have

A lot of tunnels, like the Storvikskartunnelen here, which is 3 km long. Of course it’s also uphill and today it’s more than 1700 m in total. Up hill down hill. And today it’s simply going to be a long way. But today the weather and view are

Phenomenal and of course the oatmeal biscuits are a must. This is a tidal stream. The water hisses through here at speeds of up to 40 km/h. Is also the largest tidal current in the world [actually. We are now here in the port of Bodø on the ferry that goes to Moskenes

To the Lofoten. It actually runs quite a long time now. We planned for it so much that today is more of a rest day anyway. But because it doesn’t make sense to sit in the ferry for even half of the day on a trip, we’re now driving

Over to the Lofoten and doing a little bit of 30 km there. Now we’re taking the ferry across the sea for three and a half hours. [Music] [Admiral P – Kallenavn] And that brings us to the Lofoten or the Lofoten, it’s a group of islands and here we drive north to the end

And then take the ferry back over to more or less the Norwegian mainland It was pretty shit, but what are you supposed to do when you haven’t trained for ages and your legs are tired from cycling. That’s embarrassing, my God, it’s cold!

Day 2 in Lofoten. The landscape is really very beautiful here. The road is just a bit unpleasant, especially because it is still the main road and we are still in the south, which means a lot of cars, a lot

Of caravans, which are also very wide. Above all, there are a lot of tourists who just drive and don’t really pay attention, which is a shame. But the landscape is a dream. We’ve just arrived. Today was definitely a ride. 120 km, so pretty far

Too. A bit hilly but that wasn’t the problem, the traffic was really annoying today. It was along the E10, which is the main road here in Lofoten, and unfortunately people weren’t very considerate. Otherwise in Norway people drive considerately, here it’s not

Really that annoying. But I don’t know if these are tourists who are just driving stressfully or locals who are stressed by tourists, but they were so busy pushing, which was very, very annoying. They just drove past us super close, very unpleasant and even

In places that were simply not visible: you have a tunnel entrance, you have tight curves, you have hilltops where you can’t see and they are just extremely narrow. The sunshine we had today has now turned slightly liquid, but not bad and now let’s put up the tent and eat something, I’m pretty exhausted.

And one thing I almost forgot, we just saw a sea eagle today. Even quite close, really beautiful animal. But unfortunately you couldn’t stop to take photos or film it because it was really right on the main street at the Leidplanke. This wasn’t a

Spot to stop. I’m really annoyed but oh well, what can you do? Have a beautiful good morning. It sounds so windy. Oh, it’s pretty windy, I think we have a good chance that the wind will come from the south and we’ll go north, so. Hopefully a tailwind. [Music] [Bluekilla – Misirlou]

We only drove 85 km when we arrived today, so not necessarily very far. But after the 120km yesterday it was definitely sensible not to drive that far. Tomorrow it’s 110 km and yes, I’m curious to see how it turns out. The weather is forecast to be good.

Considering we’re so far north, the weather is awesome. It really is almost completely blue sky. A few individual clouds and we have a strong tailwind which is very pleasant at the moment. Especially because we want to drive quite far today, things

Are going really well at the moment. The air is quite cold but the sun is shining just so pleasantly. It’s really cool right now. It’s pretty bad weather back there from the looks of it. You can also see the rain

Coming down. The wind actually blows it halfway towards us. We have a tailwind so hopefully it will fly past us a bit. Because I don’t really want to get into that. Judging by the sign, the platform they

Are building here is a spaceport. They’re building a spaceport here, ahh it’s quite small. Here here here, look at nature and everyone and here are building a spaceport. [Music] [Mr. Review – Buf Buf] So and the storm area that we drove away from is right at the back. And

There the clouds hang in the mountain. Lucky. So we just got on the ferry. Which goes from Andenes to Senja. That wasn’t actually our plan, but the camping spot we saw was so uninviting that we decided to sprint to the ferry and luckily it was a little late, so

We went for it. So today things are going a little further than planned. This marks the end of another day. Today 110 km pretty awesome pretty awesome. And we even got the ferry to Senja. This is the second largest island in Norway and

The plan is to really shoot through tomorrow. 150 km a little less likely. because we still have a ferry in between. But on top of that, a total of 1700 meters in altitude, that’s a lot of

Work and it’s really thick. But it just doesn’t really make sense to do two 70 km tours or something like that. That’s why we decided we’ll just do a big tour, with a day off in Tromsø and that’ll do it. But let’s see how it goes tomorrow. You can see the sun,

The cloud is hanging really beautifully in the mountain. Very very very very relaxed here, very very relaxed. And now it’s a relaxed 300 m upwards it’s the bike path oh it continues [Music] [Admiral P – Hodet Kaldt]

We’ve done 40 km and 600 meters in altitude, we just had a long lunch break in this supermarket, Joker. That’s what I call reduced lighting. On the camera it looks much brighter than it actually is. And there is no car in here at the moment. This is very pleasant. We are

On the ferry, the next 40 km are done. We are now at 80 in total and we are now taking a break on the ferry again. Use the ferry time to get some rest. And then it’s another

55 km and 570 meters in altitude. This will definitely be the tough third. Up until now it was still like a normal daily stage, but what comes next and what comes after that really becomes a bit dishonorable. We have now driven through to the end of a fjord. And

Now we go over the island again, over a mountain saddle. We’re almost there – we’re on Tromsøa, which is the island on which Tromsø is located. But because the car tunnel is not open to cyclists We now had to drive over the island again. That means

Another 100 meters in altitude at the end and the last climb was the steepest of all. And tomorrow there’s a rest of the day, you can see what we’re experiencing there now. We’re moving on, we’re already a few kilometers out of Tromsø. Now we’re taking

The last big stage, so to speak. 550 km to the Nordkapp. Five and a half days were planned for this. Luckily there isn’t a lot of up and down in between today. Today we have two ferries that we have to get. That means

We have to shoot well for the first 50 km today so that we don’t miss the ferry. Basically very happy that we made it this far. We’re pretty close to the finish line, but I

Don’t want to be too euphoric yet, because whoever can remember the last two or three days in Spain was really shitty on the motorway and the boom. So approach the matter a little less euphorically. Ferry is done. Pretty cool 50 km in almost exactly two and a half hours.

That’s a pretty good time but it’s also cold now it is. [Music] [Mr. Review – One Way Ticket] And this is the last ferry on the tour. There are no more ferries, everything else is bridged via tunnels. But there aren’t that many bad fjords.

Good morning, the weather is very nice. Should be up to 26°C , that will be nice. Much more pleasant than yesterday. This is the first tunnel and it is closed. It actually doesn’t make any difference to us

Because we shouldn’t have driven in here anyway. But of course that means that all the cars take the same detour as us, which of course doesn’t necessarily make the traffic any better. But well, we have a total of 1400 meters in altitude three times today.

It just keeps going uphill. It’s dragging somehow, but I can see it back there . It looks like the saddle is there. But that means now the headwind is coming over the mountain. It’s just over there again. Nice climb. I don’t know what it is, but today

The climbs are somehow different. It’s also just hot today. So here we are well above the Arctic Circle and it is definitely over 25°C. And when the wind when the air just stands still and there is no wind… Well, you know you’ve done something.

Gerdae arrived, quite late today actually somehow, it’s already after 7, 7:30 a.m. Today it was only 100 km but we left quite late and the sun was really hot. She’s still really horny and really warm. It’s kind of crazy because it’s over 25°C here and in the

South of Norway and Denmark and Sweden there’s a huge storm, massive damage to everything. Steel blue skies and great weather here . Well, I don’t want to complain too much about it, just look at it. [Music] [M83 – Wait] Hello, it’s somehow very warm today and already in the morning. We

Woke up and thought pffffff. Let’s not complain about the good weather. Today it’s another 100 km. No direct pass but lots and lots of hills. We have just crossed the border from Troms to Finnmark. That means we are now

In the last fylke of the trip. Fylke, these are the federal states or provinces in Norway. [Music] [Admiral P – Hva Som Helst] Don’t be scared – they’re scared… Once again we can’t go through this tunnel because it’s closed to cyclists and these are [Music] [M83 – Wait]

[Music] [Admiral P – Hva Som Helst] We are now nicely turned into the tailwind and the road goes more or less straight north with the wind. That means we can now really zoom around for a few kilometers. That was quite a knock today. We drove quite a distance. 145 km 1300

Meters altitude. But I mean in the end we only did it because it puts us in a pretty good position for tomorrow. Because tomorrow is scheduled to be the last day. There are still 85 km left and

I’m up for it. Today was pretty awesome. The nature and the landscape are really amazing. We also saw a lot of reindeer. Unfortunately, my camera was all gone. I don’t know You see reindeer every 10 minutes, it’s crazy. Yes, and tomorrow we’re going to the Nordkapp. I’m looking forward

To it, it’ll be cool, see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow morning, come. So, new day everything is ready. We have a strong tailwind. You probably hear it too, he blows a lot. Yes, it starts now. [Music] [Bumble Bee]

We are now standing here in front of the final boss tunnel. Okay, there’s still a tunnel but that’s more or less the final boss. 9% gradient, down and up, 7 km long, 212 m below sea level It’s going to be juicy. It’s really not pleasant in here. Incredibly

Loud, very stuffy and it’s uphill and it’s cold as hell. What a dirty tunnel old man. We still have 30 km to go but we still have to climb a lot until then. A total of 760

Meters in altitude. In the end, over the mountain. You don’t get anything for free here, that’s for sure. Uphill with a headwind it’s so mean. But now we are on the plateau. Depending on how the curve goes, you get a headwind again. That was pretty juicy. The road we are currently

Driving on, the E69, is actually the northernmost road in the world connected to an international road network. And there we go again. It’s over there. is. Here is the globe and the photo point where everyone who has traveled here on the cruise ship can be found. But the

True northernmost point is this island, this peninsula. And you can reach this peninsula if you hike over there. We were now at the Nordkapp which is more or less the photo point. But now we drive back a little and then turn onto a

Hiking trail to really get to the geographically northernmost point of Europe. We ‘ll see how far we can get on our bikes and pitch our tent at a nice point and actually hike to the top. No half things. Well, I’ll tell you honestly, this is terrain you do

N’t really want to push your bike through. There is always a bit of wastage. We decided it should happen here. Doesn’t look like a good spot yet. It’s definitely going to be a wild night too. But considering the fact that it gets very windy and every

Other area that is reasonably flat, you can see the cotton grass, which means it is swampy. The tent is set up, then there’s a short hiking tour. We’ve now eaten something and started walking and the reindeer are also chilling out. They have young animals with them but unfortunately they are very skittish.

[Music] [M83 – Outro] And this is where Europe really ends, we ca n’t go any further. This is the Nordkapp and the sunset looks gigantic. There are ptarmigans running there and our tent is back there. We

Reached the tent and it was 1:03 am. I’ll say that after 85 km of cycling and now another good hike, I’m pretty much done. Now go straight to bed until tomorrow. Good morning. I slept surprisingly well, but not very well either. Well today there is breakfast

In the tent entrance. Because it is the most sheltered place from the wind. And we have beautiful bread and cheese and even chocolate milk and coffee here, which is really cool. Yes, we actually want to have a quick

Breakfast and pack up because it is forecast to rain. The tent is taken down, the bikes are packed and now we push, half push, half ride through the landscape until we get back to the road. [Music] [Dr. Ring Ding – I’m in the Mood for Ska]

We arrived and I thought I’d do something like last time, a little conclusion. Six weeks in a row. Yes, four and a half days off, one in Copenhagen, one inevitably in Ängelholm because of the knee. Tronheim, Bodø, another half because we took the ferry

And then Tromsø. That was definitely another great tour. Basically, I have to say, I’m of course very happy that we did it. It was really very nice. The animals we saw. Unfortunately not many were caught on camera because they were only there for a short time and then

They hid again or jumped off the street. So nature is really so impressive. The fjords and forests are really really great. But the overriding feeling is I think then gratitude. Because I really appreciate having this privilege, that we

Have the opportunity to go on tours like this, both in terms of schedule and financially. I don’t think that’s a given and that’s why I’m really very grateful that I have the opportunity to experience something like that and do something like that. I think you

Just have to appreciate that. In any case, I have to say thank you, on the one hand, to my father, who took a lot of time to go with me. Also to my mother who, I would say, supported us well behind the scenes. From the preparation, above all, always

Excited and hoping for us. And of course to all the people who congratulated us or wished us all the best while we were still on the way and always kept their fingers crossed for us. I think that’s definitely worth saying thank you again. Yes, but I

Think the basic mood that comes across is that of course relief, you’re proud of yourself that you’ve achieved it. I am personally proud of myself because I have now crossed Europe within a period of two years. On the route south-north and that’s

A little over 7000 km and I’m proud of that. Yes, and I have to say you also have to be very conscious of appreciating the fact that you can travel to this continent in this way . All of this with minimal to no border controls, with no difficulty

Crossing national borders. And I think we should all work a little bit to maintain this. If you liked the video, I think I got some nice shots , but if you liked the video as a whole, please leave a like. If you

Liked this a lot or just a little and would like to see more, please subscribe and leave a comment and yes. I hope you enjoyed it, I definitely enjoyed it a lot and so I would say goodbye with a relaxed outro. Until then. [Music] [Max Raabe – ride a bike]
