For a long time, it was just a dream, but last year I finally did it: I packed my bike and started riding north. My goal was the Nordkapp (North Cape) in Norway, the northernmost point of Europe.

The journey took me 6 weeks, covering about 4,000 kilometers (~2,500 miles) through Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and finally Norway. I wild-camped almost every night, dealt with endless rain in Scandinavia, brutal headwinds, and the incredible loneliness of the north, but also experienced overwhelming kindness and landscapes that I will never forget.

I filmed the entire adventure, from the struggles (so many flat tires…) to the incredible moment I finally reached the Cape.

Back home, I spent months editing all the footage into a full 1-hour feature documentary. This film was actually my "Maturaarbeit" (my final, extensive high school graduation project, similar to a senior thesis in other countries) and a true passion project. I'd be honored if this community, which gave me so much inspiration, would watch it.

A quick heads-up: The documentary is in German, as that's my native language. I am working on adding proper English subtitles, but for now, YouTube's auto-translate subtitles might have to do!
