Cycling Norway South to North Cape – Tips, Experiences & Your Routes?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a cycling trip through Norway this summer, riding from south to the North Cape. I’ll be starting in Kristiansand and following parts of EuroVelo 1 and 12, aiming to kick things off around mid-June.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has done a similar journey. Do you have any route recommendations, must-see spots, or sections I shouldn’t miss? I’m also super interested in practical tips—like weather challenges, camping options, gear advice, or anything you wish you’d known before starting.

If you’ve got stories, lessons learned, or even small “hidden gem” detours, I’m all ears.

Thanks in advance—really looking forward to your insights!
