Canoerental and canoetours in Sweden
The Köpmannebro – W canoe tour starts far to the south and leads through varied cultural landscapes and one of the fascinating areas of Dalsland. On the left, you pass the striking mountain massif of Sörknatten, where “Ronja the Robber’s Daughter” was filmed. Between the lakes Ärr and Ånimen (by the lock) there is a great hiking trail up Sörknatten (2-3 hours), and in good weather you have a fantastic unobstructed view of the huge Lake Vänern. The northern section of the canoe tour leads across the lakes Edslan and Limmen in ÖstraSilen. Good fishing opportunities, fishing permits can be purchased at the canoe center or booked online. Very flexible paddling route, we recommend 6 to 9 days tour duration.
The route on GoogleMaps is only a suggestion for orientation. The Swedish “Everyman’s Right” must be strictly observed. During the briefing, we inform you about the applicable rules, regulations and provisions in the planned area.
