Slow Travel Europe - Going North

Slow Travel Europe: Going North
Inspiring journeys to Denmark, Norway & Sweden

In Scandinavia, life is lived outdoors, no matter how warm, cold, light, or clark it is. This book is an ode to life in the great outdoors.

Whenever writer and photographer Bas van Oort travels to Den­mark, Sweden, or N orway, he returns home with a clearer head. Whether he hikes across the mudflats off the Danish coast, goes ice fishing on a Swedishjjäll or kayaks through a Norwegian fjord, every time he finds the same sense of calm.

This book tells stories of unfor­gettable midsummer nights when darkness never truly falls. Stories of the lighthouse at Norway's southernmost point, of the North Cape, of towns where nature is just around the corner, and of islands such as R0m0 and Tran0ya that many travellers have never even heard of.

Join him in the search for the first sunlight after months of dark-ness, dive into the icy waters of the Norwegian Sea, and sleep in a world-famous treehouse somewhere deep within the Arctic Circle. One recurring theme runs through all these adventures: life outdoors.
