About the Knon canoe tour:
This tour is a perfect entry level tour and excellent for beginners, families, families with children and anyone who wants to enjoy the untouched nature of Sweden in a relaxed way. The tour takes you past many uninhabited islands where you can set up camp. You paddle over beautiful large lakes, pass idyllic rivers, and cross the large lake Knon with one of the most beautiful views in the whole of Sweden. With some luck you can spot deer, crane birds or other wildlife along the way. How fast you go and how many days you go is up to you. You return by the same route as you follow towards the big Knon lake.
From Värmlandsgården you paddle in a northern direction over several large lakes. You decide how long you make the trip, 4 or 5 days. The way there and the return way follows roughly the same route to the large lake Knon. When you make the booking, you choose the number of days that suits you best.
