Description
Looking to enhance your Norwegian road-trip? Get our guide to the E6 highway from Narvik to Kirkenes!
The E6 from Narvik to Kirkenes covers the most remote part of the country. The scenery varies from steep mountain peaks to flat, barren plains through birch forests and rocky coasts. It’s incredible. Along the way are a number of detours to some beautiful fishing villages. The road itself is fairly modern for a major highway; the western part was constructed in the 1960s, while the eastern part towards Kirkenes was constructed in the 1980s. There is currently work being done to build more tunnels in order to make the road safer in winter.
This guide will:
- Answer the question “How do people live here?”
- Provide you with historic images and stories relevant to where you are
- Give you practical tips such as – where’s the nearest toilet? When can I get a hot dog? You know, the important stuff.
- Show you interesting points where you can stop to stretch your legs or get beautiful photos of Norway
This guide won’t:
- Drive for you (Sorry, we aren’t that advanced yet)
- Give you accommodation tips (this guide assumes you know where you are staying already). If you want accommodation tips, visit our (free) online travel guide https://thehiddennorth.com/norway
- List experiences (think of this guide as more of a fun, informative directory. If you want to know what you can do, head to our free online travel guide)
- Detailed overview of hikes. We do list famous hikes, but don’t provide much information each one. This guide is purely for the A to B. Again, head to our free online travel guide for that information.
- Give you a detailed map overview. We have a basic map guide, but if you are looking for something detailed, I recommend buying one online! (click here for my recommendation)
Our guides are packed! Here’s what this one includes:
- Free interactive Google Map that can be loaded into your GPS, making finding that stave church much easier.
