TIMBER RAFTING IN SWEDEN 8 DAYS – TIMBER RAFTING ON THE KLARALVEN
On this exhilarating Huckleberry Finn-style adventure we build our own timber rafts and learn to navigate them through the twists and turns of the Klarälven River. We explore local villages lining the shores and search for elk, roe deer and beavers. We will fish for dinner on the tranquil waterways and camp each night on the forested banks.
ITINERARY
Day 1 Fly to Stockholm. Day 2 Värmland Take a train from the capital through the rural countryside to Karlstad in Värmland, western Sweden. Day 3 Rafting With the guidance of expert tutors, learn to build a stable raft from logs and ropes. Launch it on the Klarälven River for the start of an exciting adventure. Day 4/5 On the Klarälven Cruise along the meandering waterways, using poles and paddles to navigate the bends. Stop at picturesque towns and villages lining the river to pick up supplies; explore the local churches and abandoned cabins on the shores. Fish for dinner in the backwaters and camp each night on the forested banks. Day 6 Disembark After three days on the river dismantle the rafts and return the logs to nature. Take a train back to Stockholm. Day 7 Sea kayaking A free day in the capital city. There is the chance to try sea kayaking among Stockholm’s archipelago. Day 8 Fly to the UK.
