Finland: the Midnight Sun sweeter

Finland is a soft hills, forests and lakes and lakes without purpose. The Midnight Sun can be enjoyed near Rovaniemi, seeking to Santa Claus and the sami near lake Inari, but there is also a Midnight Sun southerner and dulzón in lakes near Savolinna, with the medieval castle of Olavinnlinna replete with opera.

All in Finland is calm, and is ideal use the boat as a means of transport for that part of the country, as it through channels all the great lakes are connected. A post to choose a path, which unites Savolinna and Punkaharju offers some of the best landscapes. A cabin in one of these vessels, the sauna and contemplate the Midnight Sun on the cover what more can ask for?

The North Cape: the experience of mythical Midnight Sun

If there is a place for excellence in the experience of the Midnight Sun that place is without doubt Norway.

Norway is a country that by itself already offers elements that can attract the attention of any traveler: huge fjords that came as languages of sea on the rugged mountains, islands that recall the paradise and landscapes of dreams.

In good part of the country the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun is significant, but it is in North Cape where you can envisage that strange time when the sun seems cast doubt on the way forward and decides to continue suspended on the horizon.

Not in vain the image of the globe with the sea of fund is the goal of many travelers, displaying the myth of reaching the end inhabited further north. But, in fact, the authentic North Cape, the geographic, is located some 18 km beyond, following a narrow road and alien to the entire hubbub resort-mythical that adorns the North Cape journal. Whatever the case, the truth is that at that site arrested contemplate the sol running a dance out of the ordinary and making the night day is exciting.

This experience can be more total if the traveler decides to stay there several days and view as the place is cleared of buses and people (and fog in many cases). There is a camping with cabins which claims to be the campsite further north, why not try it?
