Description
The price includes canoe rental for 2 days, canoe delivery, a canoe trolley for land transportation, paddle, life jacket, and a map with the corresponding canoe route description. The map provides information on what you might see along the way, as well as suitable camping spots.
Embark on a wonderful 2-day adventure with beautiful camping spots and the flexibility to adjust the length of your journey. Start by collecting your canoe at our canoe depot in Surahammar, then roll it down to the canal lock. The canoes are securely locked with a combination padlock outside, and you can find the rest of the equipment in the container with our logo on it. The route follows the canal, passing by lovely summer cottages and through stunning scenery, with several options for overnight stays depending on how close to nature you prefer to sleep.
On Day 2, continue paddling past Hallstahammar, and choose how far you want to go. You end your trip on one of our 4 canoe parkings downstream: Kolbäck, Westerqwarn, Strömsholms canal lock, or Borgåsunds guest harbor. Leave your canoe securely locked there and return home or to the starting point by bus and train. To return to the starting point, you can take the free local bus VL line 120 to Hallstahammar, and then transfer to a train towards Surahammar. Please note that the bus does not operate on Sundays.
Both the map with the route description and the starting point are linked below for you to plan your journey.
