This is Part 6 of my trip continuing the journey crossing into Sweden from Denmark on the Oresund bridge and Drogden tunnel having spent 3 nights at a campsite near Copenhagen enabling me to properly explore the city by foot.
The whole journey took me through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and into Norway right the way up to Nordkapp, the furthest point you can travel by motorcycle or car in mainland Europe and then back through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France over a 7 week period late May – mid July 2023
I am back in the UK now, but please do add your comments and I’ll get back to you.

If you are still in sweden , a great little place is next to the 172 .
Look for the storetjärnet lake , its from on the road from Bengsfors to Nästegård
Nice video, glad to follow you on your adventure. It is a really nice trip over the Øresund Bridge. Have driven it myself a few times, starting out here from my hometown Silkeborg, in central Jutland. I may going there again next weekend, where there is also the recurring event every year called "bakke lukning", where over 5000 motorcycles come and close the amusement park "Bakken" near Copenhagen. I am looking forward to that. Riding a Triumph GT 1050 at the moment.
Hope you manage to find some better more interesting routes and less crowded campsites!
It's a decent trip visiting all those areas. Do you plan in time for any visits to the cities you are routing between?
Thanks for posting. Using this as a preview for my own trip next year. Might try and avoid those busy camp sites. Crazy nest of vermin boxes. Ooops, did I say that out loud!? Bridge was interesting, but the up and over camera work nearly triggered my vertigo.🤢😂 Strange camping question of the day – are there good laundry facilities at these sites? Last time I went to a camp site the washing facilities were a river (ahh, Scotland in the 80s!)
I don’t blame you for not hanging around in Malmo or Gothenburg. Two of the highest crime cities in Scandinavia.
Enjoy your videos, thanks Nick. You probably realise that in Sweden (and elsewhere in Scandinavia) you have Allemansrätten (right to roam), so can find a quiet spot and put your tent up almost anywhere in the countryside. I realise you have electronics to charge but a visit to one of those awful campsites once a week would be enough for me to shower and wash clothing etc. You could even stay in a nice hotel every now and then with all the money you'd save…each to their own! I'm glad to read further down in the comments that you do eventually find some better camp sites.
