29 June – 6 July, 2019 – Intermediate level trip.
The High Coast of Sweden offers a network of forested islands with old fishing villages tucked away in sheltered bays like on Ulvön and Trysunda. Kayaking is a great way to experience the unique landscape of crystal clear water, sandy beaches as well as the red granite cliffs rising steeply from the sea.
The high coast is the only part of Sweden that is still rising from the weight of the former inland icecap was central to the fishermen of Bothnian sea, and is home to Sweden’s most peculiar delicacy, fermented herring. Love it or hate it you have to try surströmming!
The light evenings and magical blue light make this a favourite place to paddle.’
