4 days canoe tour Byälven

Canoe tours in Sweden Säffle
Recommended: 3 to 6 days canoe tour (B03)

The Byälven canoe tour is a beautiful and varied tour. It starts directly from the Svanskog Canoe Center on Lake Eldan to the mouth of the Byälven in Lake Vänern. Lake paddling, meandering river and river delta Byälven. Afterwards we recommend the really most beautiful campsite on Lake Vänern, Duse Udde Camping. In the small village of Nysäter there is a Viking village with a museum, a mini campsite (for a fee, shower/toilet) and shopping facilities. Flexible touring route. We recommend this tour for 3 – 6 days.

A sauna can be rented in a secluded bay on the Harefjorden (approx. SEK 50 per person, no guarantee). Pre-booking at the Canoe Center required. There is also a windbreak with a barbecue in the bay. One overnight stay is free of charge.
