North Cape 4000 - Edition VIII Day 8 - The first kilometers that changed everything Off the ferry… and into another world. The true North reveals itself—silent, endless, vast. From Ystad, the road begins to flow— through rolling hills, golden fields of grain, and the first whispers of Scandinavian forest. And always, there are lakes.
