Story

The area of our canoe tours is called Lower Dalälven. Here the mighty river winds its way through a shifting landscape. It makes its way through forests with abundant wildlife, where, for example, elk, deer, lynx, fox and beaver live. It spreads out, forming deltas and lakes with great fishing and wonderful views of the thriving agricultural environments, it creates wide bays and flowing rapids.


In this area you will find Färnebofjärdens nationalpark, a unique area that contains more than 200 islands and islets. Bird life has no counterpart in the country, more than 100 species nest here, including several owl species and most Swedish woodpecker species. You will also find Tyttboforsen, a 3 km long paradise for anglers where you can fish for grayling, pike, walleye and perch.


Lower Dalälven coincides with the biological border to Norrland, Limes Norrlandicus, where Swedish northern and southern plant and animal species meet to form an area with a unique flora and fauna.


In the year 2011, Lower Dalälven was appointed as Sweden’s third Biosphere Reserve (an area of high natural and cultural values) by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.


We have identified four different canoeing tours in this amazing environment, from light to medium and advanced, depending on how experienced paddlers you are and in what physical condition you are.
