We’re excited to share a preview of some of the remarkable landmarks that await you in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. From beautifully engineered bridges to the northernmost point of Europe, our team has faithfully recreated these real-world icons with a touch of Nordic magic! Let's check some of them out together.
First stop, The Hålogaland Bridge! Located along the E6, it is one of Norway’s most impressive modern engineering achievements. Officially opened in 2018, it stretches 1,533 metres across the Rombaksfjorden, making it the country’s second-longest suspension bridge. Its 175-metre pylons, sweeping cable design, and strategic role in improving regional transport links make it a landmark not just for its beauty, but for its importance to northern Norway’s road network. In-game, you’ll be able to enjoy the same spectacular fjord and mountain views that make this crossing a favourite among travellers and locals alike.
Venturing inland, culture and heritage shine through at the Sámi Parliament in Karasjok, a striking modern building inspired by traditional Lavvu structures and serving as a proud symbol of Sámi self-governance. Further south, you’ll also find the historic Gävle Theatre in Gävle, Sweden, a beautiful 19th-century performing arts theatre known for its elegant architecture and long tradition of hosting drama, music, and cultural events. Together, these landmarks offer a glimpse into the diverse cultural fabric of the Nordic region, from indigenous heritage to classical Scandinavian arts.
And then, the crown of the Arctic: Nordkapp. Standing 307 metres above the Barents Sea, this dramatic cliff plateau has long been regarded as the northernmost point of mainland Europe. Marked by its famous globe monument, it offers sweeping Arctic Ocean views, midnight sun in summer, polar nights in winter, and a true sense of achievement when you finally reach this must-visit landmark.
Have you been a good driver this year? If so, you'll also be able to visit the world-famous Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, where Christmas cheer meets the Arctic Circle, yes, even in July! Sitting directly on the Arctic Circle, it's one of Finland’s most visited destinations. Be sure to bring your festive spirit when visiting here!
Along your travels, you'll come across the Björnfjell customs station on the E10 at the Norwegian & Swedish border. While it may not top tourist lists, it has long served as an important mountain crossing between Narvik and northern Sweden. Surrounded by a beautiful snow-topped mountain landscape, this small outpost is an important landmark and stop for truckers!
That’s not everything, of course, the Nordic Horizons DLC is packed with many more landmarks to discover, from scenic viewpoints to roadside icons like the Giant Wooden Bear of Sveg. We’ll leave the rest for you to find out on the road!
Looking forward to trucking in the Nordic Horizons DLC? Be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist to be notified upon its release! We thank you all for your support, and we are excited to share more information on this upcoming expansion in the near future. Until then, Happy Haulin'!
