Day 1: Arrival

We meet at our centre in Gunnerud between 10:00 and 11:00 on the date stated on your booking confirmation. Upon arrival, you check in at our reception and receive the rented equipment. You can also take the opportunity to buy a fishing permit, mosquito repellent, a T-shirt or other things in our little shop.

Please remember that you might want to re-pack some of your luggage in the waterproof barrel that is part of the basic equipment. Therefore, it’s a good idea not to arrive last-minute!

Day 1: Information and launching

Once you have received your equipment and gone through the briefing on paddling techniques and safety, we will transport you to the starting point in Stöllet (4 days) or Branäs (7 days). The journey takes from 40 minutes to 1,5 hour depending on where you start your tour. We will help unload your equipment, and you will receive your canoe(s). You start to paddle down the river for a while and look out for a camping spot for the night. Please following the guidelines of the right of public access to the countryside – Don’t disturb, don’t destroy!

P.S. If you paddle for 4 days and want to stay in a cabin, you can either stay at Klarälvens Camping or paddle approx. 10 km and stay the first night at Björkebo Camping.

Day 2-4 or 2-7: On the river

You can choose the distance you want to paddle each day. The tour is self-guided, but you will receive a detailed route description that helps you to discover what you can explore along the way. Embrace the simple life! Take breaks along the shore and stretch your legs periodically!

P.S. If you do the  4-days tour and want to stay in a cabin instead of a tent, it is suitable to stay the second night at Alevi camping and the third night at Byns camping in Ekshärad. You contact the campsites yourself and book your accommodation and make the payment to the campsite.
