NORTH CAPE: The most NORTHERN point reachable by vehicle in Europe! // EPS. 11 EXPEDITION NORTH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 янв 2021
- A journey along Norways most northern coast to the northernmost point in Europe that can be accessed by car: North Cape.
The more north you travel, the more remote, vast and rough the environment gets. From the Lyngen Alps it was still roughly 400 Kiolometers to Nordkapp - and we decided to cover this distance in one day. We met ( a lot of!!!) reindeer, rode on route E6 over the mountain pass Kvænangsfjellet at 402 meters altitude (yes, that doesn't sound very high, but it's indeed one of the highest passes in this far north of Norway) and turned on Route 69 at Olderfjord to follow the coast.
The closer we got to Nordkapp, the more I felt like like dreaming. Maybe because all of a sudden our goal was so close. But instead of driving straight to North Cape we drove to the town Honningsvåg first after driving through the North Cape tunnel and reaching the island Magerøya. Honningsvåg has the largest cruise port in Northern Norway and was our base to head to North Cape at 5am the following morning.
We had a reason to visit Nordkapp that early. Rumors said that taking a motorcycle to the iconic globe, the symbol of North Cape, is only possible as long as the tourist center is closed. With opening times from 10.30 am to 1 am in summer due to the midnight sun, there is only a very limited time frame to do so.
If you want to know how to ride your motorcycle to North Cape this episode is for you - or if you just want to reach the northernmost point in Europe that can be accessed by vehicle wiht me.
// NEW EPISODE OUT EVERY THURSDAY 19:30 CET
//Join the journey from Switzerland to Nordkapp - to Europes barely inhabited places and it's last big secrets. The wild ride takes my travel partner and me 12.000 kilometres through 6 countries: Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden.

Thanks to everyone who was watching this Premiere with me and made the lockdown more bearable with our lively chat!
I hope you liked this episode as well - and join the next parts of the journey. Some of my favorite days of riding on this trip are still about to come!
Amazing. Breathtaking. I'm so impressed and ... jealous ;-)
Don't you want to ride there again with ME ;-) ? as a guide and a travel mate.
ALL the best ... what's your name actually?
I got it. LEA!!! All the best Lea!
I think you can be movie director and start .I enjoy what you do and all you narrative. Great 👍
12 years ago I went there with my wife, our tent and a small Opel Corsa, coming from Bucharest, and then doing the whole north-west Norwegian coast. It was a magic trip.
But doing it on a bike must be mindblowing. Thank you for sharing this. It brought back so many memories!
The 2 dislikes are from the employees of the North Cape tourist office. 🤣
hahaha, that's the best theory!
Watching your journey is like a breath of fresh air in this crazy world!!
Thank you so much! :)
Well said 👍🏽
... da ist es. Das rote Kleid am Nordkap. Wieder ein Mega Video und wieder hab ich Lust sofort aufs Moped zu steigen und los zu fahren 😎
Danke. Und: Sind ja nur noch ein paar Monate, bis es nicht mehr so rutschig ist... :/
That was by far the best footage of motorcycle travel to North Cape that I've seen. Thank you. One day I'll get there too...
Thank you! And yes, you should, it's really amazing! :)

I thank you Lea for sharing your journey. You and many others that I follow on youtube have really help me get through this past year. I will confess that most of the youtubers I follow are mostly woman half my age but I really enjoy it. I Would love to ride through any part of Scandinavia.
It's definitly a very nice place to go to! And now that the lockdown is back in Europe the videos help me escape too. :)

Awesome landscape, awesome adventure.... Gracias por compartirlo ☺️
Beautiful! :D Thanks so much for taking the time to make these
Another fantastic video. Superbly edited. Going so early in the morning to capture the Globe footage was well worth the effort.
Thank you Lea.
It definitly was! Mostly those morning rides are the best!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful and joyful road trip with us.
Beautiful country, we will be there in late June of this year. Thank you for this video, we are more excited than ever after watching your video! Safe travels to you!

Finnmark, beautiful as always! My family is from Olderfjord, awesome to see the roads I know so well on RUclips!
Yeah... You made it!
And you were very lucky with the weather on that day.
Roads love You. It's noticeable.
❤️
Yes, Lea, I'll be waiting - scheduling to see your new episode.
Thank you.
Wunderbar tolles Video. Es hat mir wirklich große Freude bereitet, deinen Film anzuschauen. Weiterhin viel Spaß auf deinen Touren. Bleib gesund
Hey Lea. Brilliant ! Pleased the sun came out and the sky was bright for some magic photos of the bikes at NordKapp. Enjoy, thank you.
Yes, we picked the perfect morning! :)
I will definitely keep watching and following you on this beautiful ride.
Thank you Ned!
Many THANKS for you fantastic journey and you fantastic video. Take care!
Thank you!
just wonderful. I have no more words...incredible.😍😍😍
Thank you for this pleasant video. It reminded me a few good memories, when nearly 20 years ago I bicycled up to the North Cape from Brest in France. It took me 7 weeks to do those 5150 km.
A lifetime adventure for sure. I am now on the verge to pass my motorbike driving licence. Who knows if one day I will not return to this beautiful place by bike!
Wonderful journey and video. I have been to Norway several times, and Nordkapp is spectacular.
Lea, magnificent photography one again ! I feel like I was there with you, thank you so very much ! 💕💕💕💕💕
LADY IN RED in front of the globe!!! Congratulation, you finally did it and i had no doubt you didn´t. You can´t see me smiling but i am happy with you two guys. The footage let me be an eyewitness again. Awesome, to travel with you ("heart" + "thumbup") P.S. your foot looks much better than last episode :-)
Yes, the cream did wonders for the foot!
Thanks for traveling with us Kuppes - hope to meet at one pint on the roads out there or at one of my presentations! :)
i am absolutely sure, we´ll meet. Until then, i´ll follow you furthermore with pleasure ;-))
The great beauty portrayed so expertly. Well done Leah.
Really enjoyed this series! The scenery was breathtaking.
Great and very realistic video! Was there 5 times in different combinations such as Lofoten, mid and south Norway, Jotunheimen, Lapland... Highly recommended real biker rout!
One of the best videos to date!👍🏽👍🏽
Absolutely fantastic.
Thanks for an excellent video...really enjoyed it! What a fab place to ride 👌. Cheers, Steve
Thank you!
Compliments, your videos they are always exciting and engaging.👍💪
Lea, it's so great that you could be at the North Cape by sunshine !
We followers are enjoying your trip sitting comfortably in a sofa ...
but we must always keep in mind that it's necessary to be a hero to achieve
such a travel.
It needs to be brave and strong for driving a motorbike when it's rainy and cold.
Congratulations!
Whoal.... Beauty video. Love your jorney.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
thanks for taking us along--it was marvelous!
Fantastic !!!! thank you !
So we have watched all your videos and I went through on my laptop and thumbed up as many as I could, simply because we have streamed them on our television and get so wrapped up that we forget to do it. We are older and this kind of travelling is not an option for us. You, my dear, have taken us on many adventures and for that we are eternally grateful. Thank You so much.
What a great journey you showed us😀
Thank you!
Very interesting journey. Beautiful.
Beautiful! Thank you for the live presentation!

Thank you Juan!
wonderful trip, beautiful places and climate, all in all, perfect. Congratulations for what you have done and for how you managed to make us experience this wonderful motorcycle moment.
Thank you! Great that you joined the journey!
The North Cape is on the bucket list for many travellers. It is beautiful and really worth it
I think so too! :)
Thank you Lea for this magnificent moment to share it with us
Thank you for watching! :)
Really well done. You made me put it on my bucket list
On my bucketlist for 2021 great video thanks for sharing
You will enjoy it!
Absolutely lovely... Beautiful scenery and great riding. Yo made me smile at North cape globe..
Thank you! ☺️
Thanks for sharing, I love Norway ❤
Another enjoyable video I watched with my wife. The scenery is stunning and your presentation is excellent Lea. We are both looking forward to the next part of your journey.
Great that you will join the next part virtually too! 🤗
Love those types of roadways. Beautiful country.
Woohoo 🎉 you made it to the Roth Cape
Nice serie of videos. And glad you caught some sunshine these days :)
The sun all of a sudden was following us like the rain did before. ;)
Fantastic and Exciting. congratulations.
Thank you!
Fantastic. You and Lord knows how many virtual passengers made it. Fantastic weather at early O'Clock when you got there. Envious, or actually, inspired, to go do this myself when travelling becomes possible once again. Thank you as always for sharing this and making the dull dark Thursday evenings enjoyable.
You would love the ride there! Can't promise though that it will be as empty as in 2020 - I heard it's normally quite a bit more crowded... ;)
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing :)
Wow, that's a great video to watch again.
I'm glad and honored to be a friend of your great channel.
Have a nice Sunday.
👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌
Love your vlogs and you as well ❤️
Thanks you so much allowing us to follow you on the trip. It's super amazing and really provide me with the calm feeling... From here, I need to get back to your starting point in 1st episode of this series TO NOT MISSING anything 🥰. Tq again for the inspiration 🙏🙏🙏 from me in Malaysia
So sorry I missed you live, I didn't know it was on! A simply superb video, the drone footage alone is stunning! Love the naughty way you took the bikes to the Globe 😀 So pleased your foot is so much better, if the weather would be guaranteed to be the same as you experienced I would definitely do that trip! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure.
What, would you as well take the two weeks of rain??? Locals said that we had a very rainy july - so I think your chances would be pretty good to have even better weather than us. But then you never know and there are so many great sunny places to ride as well. ;)
love these episodes!
Danke für dieses wunderschöne Video.
Danke fürs Zuschauen! :)
Hello,
This is a very nice trip.
North Cape was also my travel destination this year.
It was absolutely beautiful.
greeting
Hi, how are you? 👋👋👋
You are doing a great job showing
us beautiful images of Norway. Thank you very much and take care😊😊😊
Great, thanks for this ride 🤗
😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 awesome,thanks for sharing.
Leah, the red dress made its appearance once again. Amazing how bright the daylight is at 5am. Beautiful journey and waiting to the best part yet (as you teased us). Thank you for the entertainment and stay safe.
Thank you - hope I will not disappoint you (but I don't think so, there is really so beautiful scenery to come in sweden and finland...)
Wow ! What a beautiful video !
I don't know if you feel the same, Lea, but for me places like this make me think that is always the journey that counts, not the goal.
Loved the episode !
Cheers from Rio !
that's definitly true. I had really no expectations on North Cape and even thought that the ride will be a bit boring - but I was really surprised that it wasnt!
Excellent! Well done 🙂
You made it on a super fine morning, which is more than can be said when Noraly (Itchy Boots) rode up to it and visibility was down to zero as thick fog rolled in and out while she and some hearty tourists took in the globe. Nice to see Reindeer on the hoof and n ot as you felt their skin at the roadside. Cheers and enjoy your rides.
another very nice video. Congratulations for reaching your goal.
Thank you!
Very cool ride, and beautiful video :) Bon voyage
I loved this episode. I cannot wait to travel abroad again. Your videos keep getting better and better.
Thank you - and I feel the same! Can't wait for this covid shit to be over!
I do really enjoy it! Thanks for the video ! Hello 👋 from Malaysia 🇲🇾!
Absolutely stunning 👌❤🙏
Im happy that you enjoyed my country :)) I used to live in Honningsvåg for 3 years :)
Love what you do it’s great to watch thank you for these videos keeping me said whilst we cannot ride in lockdown in the uk
