Plan the trip yourself

On and along Gudenåen there are many places to stay right by the water. On our website you can easily plan your trip in advance using the Gudenåen map and read more about the different accommodation options.

You decide how many days you want to book the canoes. The only things that are predetermined are the starting point, number of days, number of canoes/kayaks and how many people are going. Everything else is up to you to plan, and along the Gudenåen river, there are endless opportunities to tailor your trip exactly as you wish - and also to take a more unplanned trip and just experience and spend the night as you please on the day. It's not necessary to book accommodation in advance at the various accommodations along Gudenåen.

We recommend sailing 15-20 km per day, which equates to 4-5 hours of effective sailing without breaks. Most people sail at an average speed of 4 km/h. This gives you the time and opportunity to enjoy the many activities and beautiful places along the Gudenåen river, and small breaks along the way are especially needed for families with children or brand new sailors. It's a good idea to pick a realistic place to stay at the start of the day, and then you can always adjust along the way if the weather, mood and energy are right to sail even further. With us, you can always change your final destination on the last day of sailing. This is easily done by contacting us by phone, so we can agree with you where you end the trip.
