Paddle

Dalsland is Sweden’s sunniest landscape. So what is better than experiencing it from the cockpit in a kayak. The fact that the water is so clean and clear that it is often possible to drink directly from the lake does this adventure even more exciting. Canoeing in Dalsland can be perceived as being in the wilderness but civilization is never far away. Dalsland’s own famous waterway Dalsland’s canal https://www.dalslandskanal.se/en/ is a great journey for your paddle adventure. Here you become one with nature. At Fengers you can rent kayaks and canoes and our staff has good experience of canoeing in Dalsland.

If you are curious about canoeing and want to gain experience, Fengers collaborates with kayak instructor and nature guide Tina Noregren. Tina offers guided full and half day tours. Tina is 41 years old and was born in Denmark where she has did her studies to become a nature guide and kayak instructor. After 15 years as a guide in Denmark, Tina, who has a Swedish mother, chose to buy a house in Scandinavia’s kayak-mecca Dalsland in 2016. In February 2019 she and her family moved permanently to Dalsland.
