The expedition takes place in the Immeln lake system in southern Sweden, a vast network of interconnected lakes surrounded by dense pine and birch forests. You’ll paddle across Immeln, Filkesjon, Raslangen, and Halen, exploring remote islands, including Troll Island, known for its rich folklore. The area is home to a variety of wildlife, with possible sightings of elk, reindeer, otters, and birds of prey.
Each night, you'll set up camp along the shores, making the most of Sweden’s Allemansrätten (Right to Roam). The route offers a mix of peaceful paddling, skill-building, and exploration, with opportunities for fishing, night paddling, and learning traditional bushcraft techniques in a truly remote setting.
A reasonable level of fitness is required, as participants will paddle 10-15 km per day in tandem canoes, carrying their own equipment. No prior canoeing experience is necessary, as all essential skills will be taught throughout the trip.
Portaging between lakes will be done as a team using canoe trolleys.
Our experienced guides provide expert tuition in canoeing, bushcraft, and fieldcraft, ensuring participants gain valuable skills while enjoying the adventure. With a small group size, each participant receives personalised attention, making this an inclusive and supportive experience.

This expedition requires a moderate level of fitness. Daily paddling distances range from 10-15 km, and there will be occasional portages where canoes and equipment must be carried between lakes.
While tandem paddling makes the journey more manageable, participants should be prepared for multiple hours of paddling each day and some physical effort when setting up camp or gathering firewood. Canoe trolleys are provided to assist with portaging, and teamwork is encouraged to make tasks easier.
