We meet at our centre in Gunnerud between 13:00 and 14:00 on the date stated on your booking confirmation. Upon arrival, you check in at our reception and receive the rented equipment. There you can also buy a fishing permit, mosquito repellent, a T-shirt or other things in our simple shop.
If you have booked the basic outdoor course we offer on Sundays at 9:30, you are welcome to arrive already on Saturday evening and sleep in Gunnerud in your own tent or one rented from us.
At 14:00 we load your equipment in the bus that will bring you to the starting point of your canoe tour. Then we gather all guests going on the same tour for a briefing about canoeing technique, safety and public access to the countryside, before driving you to the starting point.
Please remember that you might want to re-pack some of your luggage in the waterproof barrel that is part of the basic equipment. For this reason, it is sensible not to arrive last-minute!
First we arrive at Klarälvens Camping, where the four-day tour starts. Then we continue to Branäs, where the seven-day tour starts (sometimes the four-days tour also starts here - you will be informed about this in Gunnerud). Together we unload your equipment and you receive your canoe(s). You start to paddle down the river for a while and look out for a camping spot for the night, following the guidelines of the right of public access to the countryside - Don't disturb, don't destroy!
You decide yourselves about the distance you want to paddle every day. The tour is self-guided but you will get a route description, which you should read thoroughly to see what you can discover along the route.
Enjoy the simple life! Take a break along the shore and stretch your legs from time to time!
This is the last day of your canoe tour on Klarälven and you return to Gunnerud before 14:00. You return the rented equipment complete and clean at the designated spots and report to reception that you are back.
NB: If you paddle 4 days on Klarälven, you might paddle the northern route, which ends in Björkebo. In this case, you return your equipment there.
