A taste of southern Scandinavia
This journey takes us right across southern Scandinavia – from Danish Jutland (a long peninsula attached to the European mainland) over a medley of Danish islands and on to Sweden. You’ll not be craning your neck to see passing mountains, as the journey is across largely flat terrain, but it is nonetheless a very interesting route - and there are excellent coastal and lake views and some fine cities along the way.
