A cloudy, slow day, ending at the most northern point in the EU. Hello Finland!
Day 52. 78km. Veste Jakobselv – Nuorgam. Map and gpx.
What to do with a week in northeastern Norway? Nice roads? Nice hikes? Speak to the locals.
My plan is now made. Today: destination Finland. Tana River. Beautiful salmon river.
It was cloudy and threatening most of the day. The Varanger Fjord was lovely but not well lit for photos.
I then left the Varanger Fjord, over a small pass and down to the Tana River which runs into the Tana Fjord. A quick stop at Tana Bru. It was not really on my way, but I have passed signs to it from all directions. I thought I had to go there.
The Tana River is lovely, with wide sand islands in the middle. Unfortunately I haven’t spent much time on the shore as more rain has come in. I’m all safe inside a little cabin. 🙂
Proof im in Finland and the northern most point of the EU.

Don’t you get sore hands with those flat bars?
Sore hands? Well I wear gloves. I get a sore back with other types of handlebars. Or did you mean something else?
Good going Matthew!
Nice talking to you today, good fun together with Heikki.
I wish you all the best, and may God bless you!

Thanks Øyvind. Indeed, it was fun talking to you and Heikki. Next time I’ll bring a mountain bike and let Heikki advise me. 😉
Great post.
Here is how we saw Nuorgam when on car tour.
Nuorgam, the northernmost village of Finland and the European Union.
Happy biking!
Thanks! I can see we both like the North. 🙂 Greetings from Bugøynes!
