Denmark, Sweden ,Latvia and Lithuania - August 2012 any tips and maybe a meetup?
Hi.
I'm planing a trip from London through Hamburg (where i meet my mate) to Denmark take a bridge to Sweden from where we gonna eventually (stockholm) cross to Latvia or maybe even Estonia then we'll move south to Poland and back .
I'm looking for some tips on good places to visit on the way and maybe some local ride meet-up. If you live somewhere on our way and fancy showing us some good roads and sights, give a shout! Thx Martin

Hi Martin,
If you pass through Antwerp(en) in Belgium, send me a message or so, you can stay with us for a night, have a garage or meet or...
Anyways, for your Latvia part, definitely stay a day in RIGA, it's a great city with some interesting things to visit. Be sure to go to the "latvia oppression museum"; it's the ugliest building in the city centre, can't miss it and the enlish tour is good and cheap!
We did it a few weeks ago on our 65 day Scandinavian-EU-Russia trip and we enjoyed it very much.
Seb

An interesting natural diversion in Lithuania is the Coronian Spit. A nature reserve of sand dunes and trees on a narrow length of land, sometimes a few hundred yards/metres wide, with the Baltic Sea on one side and a lagoon on the other.
There are regular cheap ferries from Klaipeda that take about 15 minutes. Unless you have a Russian Visa and continue south to Kaliningrad, you will have to retrace your route to Klaipeda.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
