8 days canoe hiking combo

Canoe tour-Hiking Sweden 08
Recommended: 7 to 10 days canoe hiking combo (WK01)

The canoe-hike combination 01 starts in the Glaskogen nature reserve. The hike (approx. 50 km) can easily be completed in 4 days. The trekking part of this tour can be shortened by 2 days or even extended to 8 days.  The canoe equipment is usually handed over on the fourth evening . Overnight tickets (Glaskogen tickets) are included in the price. Also the Naturvårdskort for the lake Älgsjön, where the canoe tour starts on the 5th day. Solitary lake paddling alternates with beautiful meandering sections through wild landscapes. Free overnight stay (everyman’s right) in the great outdoors. We recommend 7 – 10 days for the entire tour. The one or other lake is very inviting for a longer stay. At Stora Bör you can optionally book another Dano overnight stay.
