17th edition: To the Skagerrak and beyond (Route 25)

To Stockholm by boat and train

Route introduction

Route 25 makes the perfect introduction to southern Scandinavia. Our journey runs up Jutland before we hop on a ferry across the Skagerrak to Norway for a train journey through the hills to Oslo. The final leg of our journey takes us east from the Norwegian capital to Stockholm. The three countries on this journey share a common cultural heritage. Indeed in the 15th century, following the 1397 Treaty of Kalmar, they shared a common monarchy.
