Scandinavia campervan woes

[Amarillo]

Denmark and Norway are struggling with the sheer number of campervans and motorhomes.

I recall a terrible experience at the Jektvik ferry terminal way back in 2017 - so this is nothing new!

Scandinavia Struggling To Cope With ‘Coolcation’ Motorhome Tourists

The reality of increased tourism, and especially the high number of motorhomes, is giving authorities in Norway and Denmark a major headache.

Always seemed quiet to me, particularly up in the mountains, in the winter

At no point in my life have I actively sought out a cold venue for a holiday!!!

Great idea from such a sustainable country..

Yep been there as well / flew up on a C130....surprisingly cold, more so than Norway (Lol...no, not when its -30 - ..... then again it only ever goes to -30 as training stops when it drops lower)

I think that the issue is along the coastal routes in the summer. There will always be quiet spots to find in Norway summer or winter.

Denmark doesn't do mountains. Its highest point (mainland and main islands) is 170m, but has plenty of coastline.

That was Copenhagen, Denmark, not Norway.
And no matter what others say Oil will be required well into the next century for one reason or another.

Personally I prefer 20c rather than 40c.

Granted but does Denmark have a Stonehenge?

We much prefer crisp colder climates.

Texas rises to over 15 times higher than Denmark.
