Description
Experience an unforgettable canoe trip with our amazing package! In addition to having canoe rental for 5 days included in the price, you will also receive canoe delivery to the starting point, comfortable canoe wheels for easy land transportation, paddle, reliable life jacket, and a laminated map with all the details you need to navigate and explore points of interest along the way, including recommended camping spots for a relaxing overnight stay.
Start your adventure trip in Fagersta, which is easily accessible by car or train. You’ll experience breathtaking views as you paddle through both open waters and calm rivers. The canal you follow was built a whopping 225 years ago and played an important role in history by transporting iron products from the industrial towns along the way to Stockholm. Each stop along the way has its own story to tell.
You have the flexibility to choose whether to end your tour in Borgåsund or Hallstahammar. Leave your car at the endpoint and enjoy a relaxing train ride back to the starting point. If you prefer to park at the starting point, you can take the train back to Fagersta when you finish your tour. To facilitate the return to the starting point, a local free bus line VL 120 will take you from Borgåsund to Hallstahammar, where you can transfer to a train towards Fagersta. Please note that the bus doesn’t run on Sundays.
Your canoe will be available at the starting point from 10:30 on the first day. It will be locked with a combination padlock, and you will receive the code in the morning when you start the tour. You will need to take care of the lock and use it to lock the canoe at the endpoint.

The Canadian canoe is an open boat with 2 or 3 seats. This boat is easy to pack and can be paddled with a single paddle. It is great for smaller lakes and river trips. The Canadian canoe has a total maximum weight capacity of 250kg, with a maximum of 200kg for human weight. In our canoes, we take a maximum of 2 adults per boat. We use the middle seat for smaller children. It is also possible to fit 3 smaller teenagers in a Canadian canoe.
