Choose a kayak, canoe or paddleboard (SUP) for a memorable self-guided trip along a charming creek, ending in the picturesque village of Dala-Floda under one of Sweden’s longest suspension bridges.
Additionally, coffee is included! This trip is designed to provide a great introduction to paddling as a small adventure for all ages, something we have done with our own children for many years.
Program:
- We meet at our paddling center in Lissfors, where you choose between a canoe, kayak or paddleboard before heading to Flosjön.
- After some basic instructions, we give you the opportunity to start your own little adventure with a map showing the way.
- Along the way, you may see potential wildlife such as deer, beavers, and various birds along the winding stream before reaching the old picturesque Dala-Floda.
- You finish at the old church and suspension bridge, with a playground nearby for a lovely coffee break.
- We then take you back to the center. A guide is an optional extra if requested in advance.
Included:
- Choice of an open canoe for two or one person, or a kayak for one or two people, or a stable and high-quality stand-up paddleboard including paddles and life jackets.
- We transport you to the starting point and pick you up at the end.
- We provide basic instructions and directions to ensure you find your way with the help of a map.
- We pack a thermos with coffee, hot chocolate and/or tea, plus some form of light snacks to enjoy while waiting for us to pick you up. (We provide a waterproof phone case so you can call us when you are ready and for safety reasons).
