general information
One trip full of contrasts Join this great rideout into the outback of Sweden, reaching the coast at Bodø in Norway and board the ferry to Norway’s most beautifull fjord landscapes at the Lofoten Islands. Following the coastline we’ll keep on heading north, untill the Northcape welcomes us. To enter Russia from Kirkenes one cannot think of a bigger contrast. The port of Murmansk is raw and landscapes surrounding it harsch. Down south we’ll head towards Petrozavodsk, where we board a hydrofoil to go the the (Unesco) Kizhi Pogost which is full of historic wooden churches, windmills and farm houses. On the way to St. Petersburg it’s possible to visit Kinerma, one of the most beautifull villages of Russia, but St. Petersburg itself in thé highlight of this tour. More to see is there in the Hanseatic cities of Tallinn, Riga and Kaunas and we’ll head back into nature in the Masurian Lake distict of North Poland. It’s a tour which will stay with you the rest of your life. With a Russian speaking motorcycling guide. This tour is for all types of riders who can do the distance (app. 8500 km total from Holland/Germany). Because we do not ride with front riders and all who join are free to ride the prepared or other routes (some in Central Sweden are gravel roads). Every-one will enjoy discovering the highlights along the route his/her way. We will all be together crossing the border into Russia, but you are also free to go your own way any time, as long as it fits within the organised schedule.
