Norway instead of Argentina, cycle rather than car, tent instead of tidy hotel. On their trip through Norway Olaf
Obsommer, Jens Klatt and Philip Baues will travel from river to river – by fair means and with their kayaks on a bicycle trailer. This time it‘s not only about the highest waterfall, it‘s about the journey itself: the scenery, the people and about discovering simplicity.
Land of raging waters Norway is a kingdom – not only as a system of government but also in terms of kayaking. Numerous fjords and islands indent the 25.000 kilometer long Atlantic coastline, the character of the heartland is (yet) shaped by untamed rivers and countless waterfalls.
Travelling without emissons Alrighty – roadtrip! Let‘s get the boats on the roof rack and hit the road! Or what about having a look at the carbon footprint for once? This grew quite big on the boys‘ expeditions around the globe. But on a bike? This will be a tough job ...
No pain, no gain Olaf, Jens and Philip want to »earn« the rivers they will paddle. True to the motto »pain is temporary, glory is forever« they know that they will face a stiff piece of work with their ambitious tour – mentally and physically.
Discovering tranquility And what about availablility? Usually we all have mobiles, e-mail, Skype – and in between we post our latest gossip on Facebook. Everyone who‘s not keeping up with that is labeled as an outsider pretty fast. How cool would it be, to just pull the plug and get rid of all that stress? To travel at slow speed, rather than time-zone-hopping until the head is spinning. On their bikes Olaf, Jens and Philip may will be slow, but they will have the time to really soak up all the impressions on their way.
The clock is ticking In Norway there is no nuclear energy and just one coal power station. This principally positive energy policy is threatening more and more riverine ecosystems. A lot of wild mountain gorges will be dammed to big artificial ponds anytime soon. So it‘s high time to immerse into the spectacular whitewater world before it‘s too late.
