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

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 Swedish fjäll 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 Tranøya 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.
