Description
I would gladly give all the roses for Nordland's stones...
The natural and wild beauty of Scandinavia is the basic ingredient of this motorcycle tour through southern Norway. Whoever designed the coastline of Norway deserves a designer award: the west coast with its islands and famous fjords simply cannot be beaten in beauty. In this natural paradise, we have selected the best motorcycle routes and compiled the "Adventure Fjord Norway". The result is an almost magical motorcycle trip, framed by glacier-covered mountains, green birch groves, the cold rock of the fjords, and the waves of the North Sea...
Enjoy the uniqueness of Norway with all your senses on this tour. Our journey starts in the north of Germany, near Flensburg. The journey takes us through Denmark to our ferry port in Hirtshals.
From here we reach our destination - Norway - in a short time. Highlights like the picturesque Sognefjord, at the same time the longest and deepest fjord of the country, but also hairpin bends par excellence and many other highlights will captivate you on this extraordinary motorcycle trip.
Our motorcycle tour takes us off the "beaten tourist track" right into the heart of Norway's untouched nature. Our roadbook lets us cruise along the fjords, and past the rugged and beautiful landscape we cross inlets by bridge or by ferry. Of course, the sensational view from the skywalk at the Aurlandsfjord must not be missed.
Nice middle-class hotels along the whole route complete this extraordinary motorcycle trip. To make your trip as relaxed as possible, our escort vehicle will take care of the transportation of your luggage. Upon arrival at the hotel, you will find your luggage already in your room.
After we have "experienced" this country in the truest sense of the word, we will leave Norway with the night ferry from Bergen and enjoy the ferry crossing to Hirtshals.
"Adventure Fjord Norway" is perhaps our most breathtaking motorcycle trip in the tour calendar. Look forward to this perfectly organized tour, and experience this country, wild and beautiful, in all its glory from the back of your motorcycle!

Itinerary:
Day 1: Meeting point Northern Germany (individual arrival)
The journey to the north of Germany to our meeting point hotel near Flensburg is individual. Dinner has already been ordered and we get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. The anticipation is great and during the subsequent tour briefing, we discuss the details of this adventure trip.
Overnight stay: Flensburg area
- - -
Day 2: Off to Norway: Flensburg - Kristiansand
After breakfast we set off for the Scandinavian adventure, for this, we mainly use the Danish highway to Hirtshals.
"Check in" in Hirtshals for the ferry to Kristiansand is in the late afternoon. During the ferry crossing, which takes a good two hours, we enjoy the view of the North Sea from the upper deck... and then it lies before us, the land of fjords and midnight sun. After docking, we reach our hotel after a few kilometers.
Overnight stay: Kristiansand
Daily distance: approx. 380 km

Day 3: Past the southern cape of Norway to Stavanger
Fantastic landscapes and biker routes in almost untouched nature lie ahead of us. We fortify ourselves at the breakfast buffet, and then we head west, mostly along the "old" but scenic North Sea Road, which leads us to our destination for the day, Stavanger. Before we get there, the perfect panoramic view of the southern cape of Norway is waiting for us. We have arrived at the southernmost point of the country. From here it is 2,518 km to the other end of Norway, the North Cape. The "Three Swords in the Rock" in Stavanger, which commemorates the Battle of Hafrsfjord in 872, make an impressive photo motif before we arrive at our hotel.
Overnight stay: in the Stavanger area
Daily distance: approx. 330 km

Day 4: Over lonely back roads to Røldal
And we get back into the breathtaking landscape of Norway, also called the land between the fjords. Mostly on single-track roads, we cruise through the rugged wilderness and a touch of "Little Canada" can be felt in the wind... The landscape changes almost every minute, and rock formations are reflected in the fjords and lakes.
The highlight of the day is undoubtedly our detour on the road to Lysebotn, which was only built in 1984. Over the slightly hilly heights of an ice-age high mountain plateau, we first reach the "Eagle's Nest", before one of the most spectacular serpentine stretches in Norway begins: 27 hairpin bends in a very small space and then another helical tunnel brings us about 600 meters in altitude down to the Lysefjord. This route lets us experience the dramatic natural landscape up close on two wheels...
Overnight stay: Røldal
Daily distance: approx. 370 km

Day 5: Norway's wilderness "from above"...
Today our roadbook leads us further into the nature paradise of western Fjord Norway. After a few kilometers, we reach the Latefossen. This "twin" waterfall is located opposite the slopes of the Folgefonna glacier, and with its total height of 165 m offers an impressive natural spectacle.
Late in the day, after passing the famous town of Flåm, the "Snøvegen" - the "Snow Road" lies ahead of us. The 48 km ride over the 1,300 m high mountains not only provides a lot of riding fun but also takes us past the "Skywalk" above the Aurlandsfjord: The 30 m long springboard-like viewing platform with integrated glass floor provides thrills and gives us unforgettable views!
Overnight stay: Near Sogndal
Daily distance: approx. 310 km
- - -
Day 6: Fjords, lakes and glacier tongues
We ride along the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Europe. It branches out into many small side arms and offers pure nature. To finally cross it, we again resort to the "main means of transportation" in Norway - a fjord ferry!
The fjords remain our theme today, and we cruise on through the deep cuts of Fjord Norway. Passing the lake called Jølstravatnet, we reach the Innvikfjord, which is part of the Nordfjord.
Before we check into our accommodation today near Olden, we take a look at the southern end of the nearby lake Lovatnet. Here we are very close to the "Jostedalsbreen": At the end of the valley, far above us, the largest continental glacier in Europe peaks out...
Overnight stay: Near Olden
Daily distance: approx. 265 km

Day 7: Up to the Dalsnibba summit and down Trollstigen
Today we have a compulsory Norway program: We ride the Geiranger pass road between Lake Langvatnet and the village Geiranger at the end of the Geirangerfjord. On the way, a detour to the Nibbevegen road is tempting. The road ends at the 1,476-meter-high summit of Dalsnibba. Here, from the highest point in Norway that can be reached by road, our view extends over the pass road and far across the Geirangerfjord. With unique images in our luggage, we ride through Geiranger and on to Trollstigen - a section of road that will remain in our memories for a long time.
After an eventful day, we arrive in Alesund. In 1904 the wooden houses of the town burned down almost completely. After this event, the mayor decreed that only stone houses could be built in the city from now on. Thus, the city presents itself to this day in beautiful Art Nouveau style - and we with our hotel are of course in the middle of it!
Overnight stay: Alesund
Daily distance: approx. 295 km

Day 8: Island hopping between Ålesund and Sandane
Today's stage takes us to the offshore island world of Norway. By ferry, we reach the island of Hareidlandet. By bridge, we cross over to the next island called Gurskøya. One ferry crossing later we are back on the mainland.
The highlight of the day is our detour to the peninsula Stadlandet. Along the edge of the Vanylvsfjord, we set course for the "Kjerringa" or the "Vestkapp", as the outermost headland in the northwest of the peninsula is also called. Here we have a magnificent view of the wide open sea, the rugged Norwegian west coast, gently sloping heaths, and the glaciers and mountains to the east.
The rest of the day is dedicated to beautiful fjord roads through idyllic nature, which provides us with photo motifs every second...
Overnight stay: near Sandane
Daily distance: approx. 270 km
- - -
Day 9: Fjordhopping between Sandane and Brekke
Today it is "Norway pure" with "Fjordhopping": By ferry, we cross the Nordfjord to the south. On our coastal route, we leave the glaciated mountains "on the left" and arrive at the Førdefjord... so today serves us the pearls of this beautiful nature on a silver platter. An unforgettable day of freedom and adventure on two wheels - mixed with an easy rider feeling. One last ferry across the Sognefjord, and a little later we check into our uniquely situated fjord hotel.
Overnight stay: Brekke
Daily distance: approx. 315 km
- - -
Day 10: To the coastal metropolis of Bergen
Our destination for today is not too far away: it is the historic port city of Bergen. That leaves us time for a photo stop at the Osterfjord. Curious: We are standing on the mainland, and when we look across the Osterfjord here towards the "interior", we see an island... It is Osterøy, the largest island in Norway not directly in the open sea.
We reach it in the early afternoon via the impressive Nordhordlands Bridge. The day guests from the big cruise ships slowly return to their luxury liners - then the city is ours! The old town of Bryggen, with its colorful wooden houses and old landing stages, once the base of the mighty Hanseatic League - and also the traditional fish market are in the immediate vicinity and invite you to explore. If you want to see the former coronation city from above, you have to climb the 400m high mountain Fløyen. Thanks to the Fløyen Railway, this is a very comfortable mountain tour: the ride up takes only six minutes. Finally, we end the day in the old town with dinner out in a stylish atmosphere...
Overnight stay: Bergen
Daily distance: approx. 175 km

Day 11: With the night ferry from Bergen to Hirtshals
Shortly before noon, we check out, if you want you can take a short walk into the city. Afterward, we start with our motorcycles to the Hurtigruten jetty. Ferry departure is scheduled for the afternoon - from the seats at the glass front at the bow of the ship we experience the trip through the fjords and archipelago. The evening buffet with free drinks provides a cruise feeling, which makes it a little easier for us to say goodbye to the land of fjords and trolls.
Overnight: on the ferry from Bergen (NE) to Hirtshals (DK)
- - -
Day 12: Hirtshals - near Flensburg
After breakfast on board, we dock in Hirtshals in the morning. From here it's back home - our starting hotel near Flensburg is our destination today. Arrived, a cool drink in a friendly round, memories, and experiences of this very special trip together review pass... an unforgettable, breathtaking motorcycle trip slowly comes to an end.
Overnight stay: Flensburg area
Daily distance: approx. 380 km

Day 13: Farewell and individual journey home
Once again we have breakfast together, then it is time to say goodbye. On the individual journey home, we feel a little bit enchanted by the splendor of Norway, which we were allowed to experience during the past days...
