Day 1

At 13:00 we meet at Torsby Herrgård, outside the Torsby motor museum (”Fordonsmuseum”). We give you your equipment and canoe as well as an introduction in canoeing technique, safety and the right of public access to the countryside. You start to paddle right at the meeting point and follow Röjdån northwards, against the current. But actuall,y the current is not strong at all (except at high water levels), as dams regulate the river. You camp at night according to the rules of public access to the countryside. Show respect for animals and people along the river.

Day 2-4

From Torsby, you paddle along the beautiful Röjdån valley. It is mostly cultivated land with small fields and pastures and deep forests on the hills in the distance. There are two short land transports, so short you don’t even need a canoe trolley. The island in lake Kläggen is a real highlight, where local enthusiasts have built wind shelters and fireplaces. From lake Kläggen, you paddle the same distance back to Torsby.

You camp at night according to the rules of public access to the countryside. Show respect for animals and people along the river!
