      Please note

        The National Park has hundreds of islands and the route can be modified to meet your skill level. It is good to know how to read the map so you can navigate in the national park. The staff in the canoe center is happy to help you with the right route. In autumn the weather can be cold and we recommend this holiday only if you have previous paddling experience.

        What to bring

          Please take extra clothes also for the paddling days since paddling can be wet. Rain gear and warm overall are good as well. Small shoes like sneekers for paddling, hat and sun screen for sunny days.

          Take always a water bottle, snack, extra clothes and phone (in waterproof bag) with you when you go paddling. *Paddling map is always included the gear rental.
