The route crosses a wilderness area that is three times the size of Belgium and one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Europe . This gravel bikepacking film showcases the beauty and harshness of the area.

After cycling in a 40 degree Italian summer I think I'd go for the 17 in Finland.

I went to Alta two months ago and there was a man who cycled from Lisbon to Nordkapp. He was 4 months on his way. Then there was this girl who was from Slovenia and she cycled from Helsinki to Nordkapp. They met there and started talking and I believe they later left together.

What an adventure it was! Hope you like the final film 🔥

That is an outstanding and beautiful movie. I have been truly amazed. A fantastic adventure, the one I have been dreaming for some time now. I do cycle every day, in London, I commute to and back from the office, more or less 30 km daily and always have this wish to be able to do it without all those cars, trucks, traffic, green, red lights … it must have been an amazing experience for you Henna and Sami. Thank you for uploading this movie.
