關於blue Highway
The Blue Highway (Norwegian: Blå vegen, Swedish: Blå vägen, Finnish: Sininen tie, Russian: Голубая дорога) is a route in Northern Europe, stretching from Mo i Rana on the Atlantic coast through Norway, Sweden and Finland to Pudozh in Russia, across Lake Onega from Petrozavodsk. It follows ancient waterways from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Onega, hence the name "Blue Highway". Among the lakes you'll see are the largest and second largest lakes of Europe.

城市概覽
The route is about 1,800 km (1,100 mi) long and probably best experienced by car or motorcycle. Much of the route is through sparsely populated countryside or wilderness, with great opportunities for outdoor life. Through Norway (from Mo i Rana) and Sweden it is known as European Route E12. The route through Finland follows the highways 18, 16, 13 (just a short stretch), 77, 5 and 9. Finally, the route through Russia follows the highways 86-K8, A-121, P-21 and A-119.
如何抵達
Mo i Rana is at the highway E6 coming in from the Swedish west coast via Oslo and continuing through the country to the Russian border at Kirkenes in the far north-east. You could also use the Hurtigruten ferries between Bergen and Kirkenes (most of them take cars); the closest port for Mo i Rana is Nesna, 60 km (37 mi) away. In the other end, Petrozavodsk is a little over 400 km (250 mi) by road from St. Petersburg and 1,050 km (650 mi) from Moscow. Pudozh, on the eastern side of Lake Onega is a bit further away from St. Petersburg and correspondingly closer to Moscow.
順遊推薦
If you've ended your trip at the eastern end of the itinerary, you can for instance head southwest to Saint Petersburg, southeast to Moscow and the cities along the Golden Ring or north to Murmansk or Arkhangelsk. If you have ended your trip at the western end, you can take the E6 highway or Hurtigruten ferry north or south through Norway, or head back to Sweden, perhaps via Lofoten and E10.
