The Valley of Röjdån
Like the mighty river Klarälven, the river Röjdån was once used as a log driving route. If you pay close attention, you may still discover some traces from this historical period during your canoe tour. Today, the banks of the river and lakes are lined with small farms, open meadows and pastures, bathing areas and forests. This tour takes you through lakes and narrow river passages. The northernmost section of the river, north of Lake Kläggen, is too rocky and has water levels too low for canoeing. Therefore, the tour extends from Torsby to the northern end of Lake Kläggen and back.
