This second and last part, starts on Bockön in lake Råvarp and continues over lakes Råvarp, Åklång, and via the famous locks in Håverud and locks Upperud and Snäcke, over lakes Ånimmen, Svanefjorden, Vänern and finally ends in Mellerud. The video shows an overview map in the beginning plus a more detailed map for each new day.

We were between 3 and 5 kayakers on different stretches. The kayak trip was an amazing experience even if we got all sorts of weather. Regarding wildlife we saw many Loons (Lom), Ospreys (Fiskgjuse), other birds, deer and several beaver huts (but no beavers). Locking with our kayaks was also a new and fun experience!

I also had a chance to get acquainted with my first kayak sail (TW 0.8m2 sail from Flat Earth Kayak Sails). It was a blast and I can't wait until autumn comes with good winds and warm water!

Hope you enjoy it!
