Canoerental and canoetours in Sweden
7 days canoe tour Borgvik
The Borgvik canoe tour starts at the canoe center on Lake Eldan, usually with a light tailwind as you paddle through typical Nordic waters. Via the lakes Lången and Aspen, you enter the adventurous meandering river Lilla Älven, which flows into the river Byälven. You paddle north along the historic Viking Trail through magnificent lake and river landscapes to Glafsfjorden. After a longer portage (very easy, as it is asphalted) you come to the wild lake area of Värmeln. Passing dozens of islands that invite you to stay overnight, you head south to the historic village of Borgvik. The tour ends at one of the best-preserved ironworks from early times. The village offers some interesting sights: An industrial museum, stone ruins (great photo opportunities), an old forge and a beautiful church dating back to 1718. Here you can see a lot before our shuttle service picks you up. Very flexible route planning possible, we recommend 6 to 10 days tour duration!
