Easy and safe canoe rental at Gudenåen
At Silkeborg Kanocenter we've been providing canoe rentals since 2002 and always strive for the highest standards in customer service, boats and other equipment. You are therefore in safe hands when you rent canoes with us.
There are several different ways to rent a Canoe. You have the option to choose between:
- Day trips
- Multi-day trips
- Hourly sailing
Hourly trips always start and end at Silkeborg Harbor, whereas one-day and multi-day trips can also start from the 30 different starting points available along the entire Gudenåen. You don't have to worry about how to deliver or pick up the canoe, as we take care of that for you. Canoe rental at Silkeborg Kanocenter should be easy and safe.
Safety is an important factor in giving you a good experience. Naturally, we recommend life jackets, although this is not a requirement. However, it is a requirement that there must be a vest for each person - just like other boats on the water. We also ask you to follow and comply with the rules that you will be informed about at the Canoe Rental. It's for your own sake and so that all boaters have good experiences to take home in their luggage.
When you rent a canoe, you'll also receive a map with the important places marked, such as good rest stops, accommodation options and distances to different starting points. This way you'll always know where you are and how far it is to the next stop.
Canoe rental at Gudenåen for the whole family
Canoeing on Gudenåen is the perfect activity for a fun family day where everyone, young and old, can challenge and awaken their inner sailor. Canoe rental at Gudenåen is for families who want to plan their own trip, but also for those who want help from us.
We have family packages, a unique concept of ready-made solutions that make it easy for everyone to go canoeing. We've taken care of all the practicalities and all you have to do is show up and enjoy each other's company as you sail along the beautiful surroundings of Gudenåen.
Most family packages start at the source of Gudenåen in Tørring and are based on multi-day trips. Tørring, Åle or Åstedbro is a good place to start as there are narrow rivers, making it easy to learn the technique behind sailing a canoe. It's easy and anyone can learn to canoe - you don't need to have tried it before.
Depending on which family package you have chosen, a tent will be set up at each accommodation with all crockery, cooking utensils and other necessities. You choose where you want to start and how far you want to sail, as it is also possible to start in Åle and Åstedbro if you want a shorter first sailing day. It's your family trip, so of course it's up to you to decide how the trip will be.
