Sk\u00e5ne County is the southernmost county in Sweden and one of north Europe\u2019s most productive farming districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sk\u00e5ne landscape is characterised by farmland, deciduos forests and lakes. It was a strong seat of pwer during the Viking area with many relics from this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sk\u00e5ne you find many open fields and broad horisons. In the south, dramatic coastal cliffs and long sandy white beaches typify the landscape, with rolling hills and green forest in the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main season for paddling in Sk\u00e5ne is mid-May to end of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paddling in Sk\u00e5ne offers both calm river waters and lakes with an archipelago feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holje\u00e5leden, where our canoe tour runs, is a waterway that stretches from \u00d6stafors in the north to Lake Iv\u00f6 in the south and offers paddling through unspoilt countryside. It lies at the base of the valley and gives you the feeling that time stands still. n a deep furrow, the river meanders on its way towards Lake Iv\u00f6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the stretch from V\u00e4stan\u00e5 Mill to Lake Iv\u00f6, there are no rapids, just calm water all the way. Along this section the countryside consists of fertile fields. You can glide along at a leisurely pace, enjoy the chirping of birds and the beautiful, varied landscape surrounding the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you\u2019ll reach Sk\u00e5ne\u2019s largest lake, Lake Iv\u00f6. It has an archipelago feel to it, with a large number of islands, around 40 in total. The islands can be reached by canoe and most of the islands are completely uninhabited \u2013 perfect places to stay overnight and camp wild. Take some time here to discover the tranquility of the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
