Description of the package Canoe tour Bergslagen
Day 1: Arrival
Please arrive 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 small things in our simple shop.
Please remember that you might want to pack some of your luggage in the waterproof barrel and pack sack that is included in the basic equipment. For this reason, it is sensible not to arrive last minute!
Day 1: Information
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 for a briefing about canoeing technique, safety and public access to the countryside before we leave Gunnerud. It takes approx. 40 minutes to drive to the starting point at Västra Sundsjön.
Day 1: Launching
At the starting point, we unload your equipment together and you receive your canoe(s). Either you decide to stay at this spot or you start to paddle for a while and look out for a spot for the night, following the rules of the right of public access to the countryside – Don’t disturb, don’t destroy!
Day 2-5: On lakes and rivers
You paddle according to the route description and set up the day’s stages yourself. There are small signs that show where to take the canoe out of the water for a land crossing. Sometimes, however, the signs can be difficult to find. Read the travel description that will help you find the right spot. Enjoy the simple life! Take a break along the shore and stretch your legs from time to time! Making a campfire or cooking coffee on your camping stove often creates the best memories.
Day 5: Finish
At the end point, you clean your canoe and other rented equipment. We pick you up on Saturday between 17:30 – 18:30 at the southern end of lake Naren. We transport you back to Gunnerud. It takes about 30 minutes. You will return the equipment, and we will say our goodbyes.
