Canoeing in Silkeborg

Silkeborg Kanocenter is Denmark's largest rental center for canoes and kayaks on the Gudenåen river and Silkeborg Lakes – and also rents out motorboats. Here you will find all the equipment and accessories for your trip that you need for sailing and overnight stays in nature along the Gudenåen river.

Silkeborg Kanocenter is optimally located in the middle of the Gudenåen river, where you can sail north (to Randers as the last point) or south (towards Klostermølle as the final destination, as it is not allowed to sail further against the current towards Tørring).

Slusekioskens Kanoudlejning is for families, friends, companies, associations, and organizations. A canoe trip on the Gudenåen river offers much more than just impressive nature experiences. You get the opportunity to create memories for life when you sail together up or down Denmark's longest watercourse, which offers everything from river landscapes, lakes and moraine hills. On the Silkeborg Lakes, which lie between Ry and Silkeborg, you can sail back and forth as you please, as the Gudenåen river's current, which starts from Tørring in the south and ends in Randers Fjord to the north, is not so strong here, as the lakes break the current a little. The rule is that you can sail between Silkeborg and Klostermølle back and forth all year round in a canoe and kayak.
