PADDLE A KAYAK IN SWEDEN'S INNER HARBOR

In Arvika, west Värmland, we actually have Sweden's innermost port, located at Glafsfjorden and Kyrkviken.

There is a lot of history, the Vikings have actually traveled on these sea routes, and we have a real gem here in west Värmland.

Treat yourself to a trip with our stable kayaks and experience Arvika from the best side, namely from the lake.


PADDEL WORTH


*Take a trip around Kyrkviken and all its lakefronts. Experience Arvika from the lake side. It's a nice trip and it's significantly less windy in Kyrkviken than out on Glafsfjorden (11km).
