Canoeing on Kongeåen

A canoe trip on Kongeåen is a wonderful experience for the whole family. Kongeåen is 56 km long and runs beautifully through the South Jutland landscape. However, the river changes markedly on a canoe trip from east to west. In the beginning, Kongeåen is narrow and runs under high old bridges, which yields an exciting and intense experience. Soon, however, the river grows larger and flows past open fields and meadows with a beautiful view and forest areas with a rich animal and plant life.
