RE: Travel Norway #18 - Autumn in Sylan p.1 - On the Way!
Amazing trip You had! Maybe You won't like it, but I must say, Norway is even more expensive and to drive here from south to north for example would be like 2,5-3000 km... so I think Iceland is not the most extreme place to visit ;)... but of course, what I can say - it is better to travel around some areas than going through whole country. In south we have highest mountains, biggest glaciers and most famous places... in the north - magical Lofoten islands, Senya island, really wild and rough mountians... everywhere is great and every region has something to offer, but to visit all the places - can take few months for sure ;)... I live here 5,5 years and have seen very little...
Yeah the Iceland route was 2300km. Damn, gotta collect some real money to go to Norway then. Id probably do several different trips to there to see more in specific region. Not so far to come for me after all, im from Estonia :D
So it is quite close really, have You been traveling to Finland, maybe Lapland, Northern Sweden, that areas? They are also interesting, maybe not so spectaculat as Iceland, but very deserted and wild for sure!
I have been to Finland and Sweden both but at southern half in them both. I really should go to see Northern parts of these countries at some point. I think maybe its wise to rent a car( or even go with my own car but thats not fuel friendly in my case) from Estonia and drive up to these countries. All this is going to take time and planning of course. So maybe in 2 or 3 years years I will be doing this. Gf already made new plans for next year to go somewhere warm haha.
Renting a car here is expensive and using public transportation will eat all the money, the best option is using own car or maybe rent it where is cheaper... Traveling in Norway without a car don't have any sense for me ;)...
Too many places stays unreachable...
