Guided Canoe Tour on the Lake Venjanssjön

We start by collecting paddles and buoyancy aid, then with the help of transport wheels take our aluminium Canadian canoes to the waterside. After some brief instruction we launch the canoes into the lake and set off into fantastic surroundings! After a while we find our way into an isolated hidden section, then we continue on until we reach a remote island where we can rest, have refreshments and explore. With a little luck, we may even spot some local wildlife. If you have the energy we can continue paddling to a secluded beach with a traditional outdoor shelter with a place for a fire. Here we can eat (according to time of day) rest and maybe take a swim. Finally we set off in our canoes again back to Johannisholm.
