You feel the shoe against the gravel when you start your hike. It promises a wonderful day in nature. The air is wonderfully crisp, you feel how the heat in your body increases with the more steps you take when you get around on your own. When your stomach starts to rumble, it's time to make a fire and cook. The water is still on the lake and you see the pair of swan's glide by and soon it is your turn to glide out in the canoe. You can't resist the temptation to feel the water and your skin tingles a little. During the paddling, the trees hang down over you and it feels like you are paddling in a world of your own.
The day starts in Norrtälje, the capital of Roslagen, in historic Vigelsjö where Roslagstrail passes. During the morning, an easy-going guided hike of about 5 km awaits. During the hike, you will discover the unique history of the area around Vigelsjö farm. The hike goes through varied nature and you get more knowledge about animals and plants that we can experience along the way.
Arriving at Malsta church, we make our way down towards the beautiful Malstasjön. At the barbecue area, a fire school awaits where we go through the basics of fire steel and how to make a fire. When the fire is burning, we start cooking to enjoy a lovely outdoor lunch, cooked with love for both man and nature.
When the stomachs are full and the fire is extinguished, the paddle review begins and then the canoes are launched. After a technical review on the lake, we find our way towards the estuary and make our way into the magical Malstaån. We follow the river down to Lake Lommaren with a break for a cinnamon bun in the canoe. The tour ends at the starting point.
