34 to Strömstad

🇬🇧 English version below 

Tour data: 64.2 km (total 2,495 km), max. 49.9 km/h, avg. 22.5 km/h, travel time 2:50 hours

Weather: very sunny and warm again, gusty wind towards the end of the tour.

Today is the national holiday in Norway. That's why I stayed longer in Fredrikstad and watched the parade after taking a walk through the city. It would have been much bigger and more impressive in Oslo. But now I experienced it on a smaller scale and I am already a significant distance further south.

However, the place itself is highly recommended as it also does not have an old town section, which I visited before. But I won't write anything about that, please take a look at the pictures.

The hotel had an amazing breakfast buffet, unfortunately I couldn't eat the same for the next few days, but it really tempted me. After the city stroll, I had to pack first and store the luggage in the storage room, where my bike was already placed.

After the parade, all I had to do was go to the hotel, take my bike, and I was ready to go. The lady at the reception was so nice and took a photo of me with the bike before that.

The route I planned for today was not as long as usual because it would have become too late. However, I am still continuing towards Gothenburg, which is the next major city I want to visit.

Right after the town, I had to cross a very high bridge. Fortunately, there was a special bike path, and I didn't have to ride on the road. After that, I continued on many bike paths or less traveled roads. Later, I was able to take a small detour to avoid going back on a kind of highway. This detour led through a side road that was practically not used. In the whole 15 kilometers, I maybe encountered ten cars.

I also need to mention that I crossed the border from Norway to Sweden again via another very high bridge. Then I am driving south again in Sweden until I reach Denmark quite far down over a bridge.

Today is the national holiday in Norway. That's why I stayed longer in Fredrikstad and watched the parade after taking a walk through the city. It would have been much bigger and more impressive in Oslo. But now I've experienced it on a small scale and I'm already a lot further south.

However, the place itself is highly recommended as it also does have an old part of town that I've visited before. I won't write anything about that, please look at the pictures.

The hotel had an amazing breakfast buffet, unfortunately I couldn't eat it for the next few days, but it would have really excited me. After the stroll through the city, I first had to pack up and put the luggage in the storage room, where my bike was already parked.

Immediately after the parade, all I had to do was go to the hotel, take my bike and off I went. The lady at the reception was so nice and took a photo of me with the bike beforehand.

The route I prepared for today wasn't as long as usual, because then it would have been too late. Nevertheless, I continue towards Gothenburg, which is the next larger city I want to visit.

Immediately after the place I had to drive over a very high bridge. Luckily there was a special bike path and I didn't have to ride on the street. Then we continued on many bike paths or roads with little traffic. Later, with a small detour, I was able to avoid having to go back onto a kind of freeway. This detour led over a side road that was practically not used. On the whole 15 kilometers, I met maybe ten cars.

I have to mention that I crossed the border from Norway to Sweden again via another very high bridge. Then I drive south again in Sweden until I come to Denmark quite far down over a bridge.
