    Cycling to North Cape – Cyclingaroundtheplanet #7



    The beauty of Norway is beyond words. Cycling through the fjords and mountains is truly breathtaking. It is by far the most beautiful place where I have cycled on this bicycle tour. From Bodo I took a ferry to Lofoten, where I made multiple hikes to the most amazing viewpoints, including Reinebringen. From Lofoten I continued to the islands of Andøya and Senja, where I experienced the most beautiful midnight sun I have ever seen. Beyond the city of Alta, I cycled through the Arctic tundra.
    On 15 July 2020 I finally made it to North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe. As I sit in the giant globe at North Cape, I started dreaming of my next destination. Where will that be? Check out the video!

      Hoi Niels, weer een super mooie video. We hebben je kanaal pas net ontdekt maar zijn nu al verslaafd. Kun je iets zeggen over de elektronica die je bij je hebt en hoe je omgaat met de stroomvoorziening? (gopro, drone, camera, aantal accu’s, zonnepaneel, power bank …).

      Young man, you produce some of the best and most visually stunning cycle touring videos.Thank you very much. Liked and subscribed.

      What a fantastic landscape, amazing project. How far is it from the western end of the lofoten to the northcape that way you cycled?

      Absolutely brilliant! I love your well put together videos! Your a bit like a michael palin but on a bicycle 🚲 lol. Nice work buddy 👏

      Looks more pristine than most of Hawaii, and therefore even more like an island paradise. I know in reality it may be cooler than Hawaii….but it doesn't look so much so. Hawaii does have a stretch that looks similar, but not many.

      Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful trip, for fantastic places, that I will not know personally, because of my age and financial limitation. Simply admirable! I'il always be with you… God bless you… Greetings from Brazil.

      I am very enjoy this episode..its my dream destination. What's the specticular aerial view. Very professional shot. A question, where do you charge all your cameras and drone batteries? And do you encounter flat tire. Maybe you can make a video of this review all your gears. Have a save trip. Hasta Luego

      My favourite episode so far. The drone footage is spectacular – you must keep starting and stopping your cycling to get the drone footage captured Question How often does it take you to end to end to get a 10 second clip taking into account packing and unpacking camera etc ?

      Realy thanks from heart for the sensitivily balanced approach of your experiences and the lakonic style of descriptions.
      Best wishes!

      Wow, thank you so much for putting all your effort into your videos. What a pleasure to watch! You got an eye for filming a hand for editing and an ear for choosing the right music. I only discovered you two days ago, have now watched all the episodes up to this point and am looking forward to everything that is to come. Of course I subscribed immediately 🙂!

      I'm so glad I found your channel. great video, shots and content ….. I'm going from Poland to the Nord Cape in July. Your films confirm that this is a good direction… Sub of course

      Hi Nils,
      I've seen a lot of bike travel videos, but yours are special.
      The recording, editing and music are masterpieces. Without a doubt you have a great talent for something like this and you are also very diligent

      You spared no effort, set up the camera and brought it back afterwards, thank you…

      My wife and I we rode through Norway on a tandem.

      I've already watched a few of your videos. All TOP! I'm looking forward to what I haven't seen yet.
      I greet you cordially,
      Bernhard

      Hi Nils, wat een mooie fietstochten ik geniet en reis gezellig met je mee 😊. Ik fiets zelf véél door Frankrijk, Luxemburg daar vindt je wel om de 10 á 15 km een supermarkt ik mis ook bij jouw YouTube filmpjes waar koop je,je eten onderweg. Vriendelijke groet, Aad Viola

    37. Jamy Jansen on

      Hoi! Op 0:11 zie ik aan waar je route begint dat je niet ver van mij vandaan komt. Ik kom uit Reusel, NB en hou ook van lange fietstochten door Europa mee de tent. Ik ben al naar Londen en terug gefietst, fiets geregeld door NL & BE en heb al plannen om naar Trondheim, Wenen en Istanboel te fietsen. Waar kom jij vandaan en waar ben jij allemaal naartoe gefietst?

      Wish there was a 'I love" button instead of "I like". So far my favourite video out in your series. Thank you so much for taking these amazing videos and sharing them with us. Your videos help me feel I am living the life I would love to live. Be safe and keep sharing, please!

      Thanks for sharing your journey. I will be in Norway later this year and plan on doing a bit of cycling while I’m there. You video has been an inspiration to me and I now look forward to my adventure in the coming months.

      Wonderful videos ! We are living in Östersund and has also been to the places were you are bicyckling., but with our vw-bus. Are longning back! We stared their and then for one year we travelled to Cape Aghulas in South Africa. Wonderful overlandtour. When we stayed at Lofoten we met an Austrian man, 67 years old. It was by then his third trip by bicycle from Austria to North Cape. His fourth trip a year later, took him 15 days from his home to North Cape. Imagen that! NIce to follow your tour and right now we are with you in Tanzania.

      I am really astonished how this video got only 16k views….I cannot describe how incredible this video is and how much effort this guy gave to capture the moments… SALUTE!
