The tour begins in Torsby, where you’ll paddle northwards to Lake Kläggen. You’ll then turn around and paddle back to Torsby, completing a scenic loop. For the first half of the tour, you’ll be paddling against the current. However, as the river Röjdån is dammed further upstream, the current is minimal.

Throughout the journey, you’ll be paddling on your own, at your own pace, to fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings.

Faq
Can we shop along Röjdån?
Not really. However, you can hike from the northern end of Lake Kläggen to Östmark, where there is a small ICA grocery store. The walk is about 2.5 km one way.
Are there campsites on Röjdån?
There is a beautiful island in Lake Kläggen with wind shelters, fireplaces, and outdoor toilets. It is an excellent place to stay overnight. Please never leave trash behind and leave the place nicer than you found it.
Are there portages along Röjdån?
Yes. There are two portages in each direction. If you paddle from Torsby to Lake Kläggen and back (Röjdån 3 days), you will encounter these portages both ways. You must carry the canoe and equipment separately — no canoe cart is provided. If you paddle the weekend tour, you start in Kläggen and paddle to Torsby — then there are two portages.

TIMMERFLOTTE 2 NÄTTER
Första kvällen tältar ni på Klarälvens Camping och kanske passar på att hyra vår vedeldade bastu. Nästa morgon bygger ni er egen timmerflotte av stockar och rep. Ni flyter med iväg och slår läge längs vägen för att avsluta äventyret på tredje dagen.
TIMMERFLOTTE 4 DYGN
Detta alternativ på 4 dygn är populärast. Det är verkligen ett oförglömligt äventyr, men det kommer också att vara en utmaning på flera plan. Det är fysiskt krävande att bygga flotten och kan även kräva att man får ta i ordentligt under själva färden om/när man stöter på sandbankar, stenar, bakvatten mm. under resans gång. I kontrast till detta finns det få saker som är mer avkopplande och rogivande än när flotten ljudlöst glider fram genom den mäktiga Klarälvdalen. Då har ni tid att ta in nuet.
KLARÄLVEN 6 ELLER 3 DYGN
På Klarälven har det flottats timmer, gått roddtransporter från järnbruken i ena riktningen samt spannmål och andra förnödenheter i andra riktningen, ångbåtar som både bogserat pråmar och kört passagerare. Under 1800-talet var trafiken intensiv på Klarälven. Annat är det idag; enbart några enstaka små fiskebåtar med motor, timmerflottar som flyter med strömmen samt kanoter/kajaker och en och annan SUP.
ROTTNAN 3 DYGN
Rottnan slingar sig fram i det som kallas Finnskogen. Finska svedjebönder kom hit under 1500- och 1600-talet och bosatte sig. De brände ner skogen för att odla en speciell sorts råg och kunde på så sätt överleva. Lokalt ansågs skogen alldeles för oländig. Än idag finns finngårdar, finska ortnamn och traditionella maträtter kvar.
The Valley of Röjdån
Like the mighty river Klarälven, the river Röjdån was once used as a log driving route. If you pay close attention, you may still discover some traces from this historical period during your canoe tour. Today, the banks of the river and lakes are lined with small farms, open meadows and pastures, bathing areas and forests. This tour takes you through lakes and narrow river passages. The northernmost section of the river, north of Lake Kläggen, is too rocky and has water levels too low for canoeing. Therefore, the tour extends from Torsby to the northern end of Lake Kläggen and back.
