Rent kayaks in Askersund and explore Lake Alsen – the northernmost part of Lake Vättern. You can start paddling directly from the harbour area in Askersund. A nice stop is Stjernsund Castle where you can stop for coffee or lunch. Afterwards you can continue towards the bay ‘Kärraviken’ in Åmmeberg, or make a tour under the magnificent bridge at Stora Hammarsundet. You can also go as far northwest as you can, into the long narrow Lake Viken.
From Askersund you can of course go all the way to the Archipelago of Lake Vättern, with hundreds of islands. On some of them you are allowed to camp, maybe you would like to spend the night out here? We are happy to tell our favourite areas and islands. Kayaking gives you a wonderful feeling of being united with the water.
Our kayaks
Our Seabird Expedition are safe and stable kayaks if you are a beginner but they are still fun and nice to paddle, also for the more experienced ones. Seabird Expedition is a sea-kayak and is best used on bigger lakes. There is plenty of space for all your gear if you want to go on an overnight adventure. We have two Seabird Expedition for rent. Paddle and life west is included.
We are happy to give you advice where to go and how to find our favourite islands and best routes. Please note that the archipelago is a nature reserve and has specific rules regarding where you are allowed to camp! Read more about the nature reserve and see map of Lake Vättern archipelago.
Are you mainly looking for paddling on rivers and smaller lakes, we recommend our packrafts or inflatable canoes.

In case you are going on a day trip and are aiming for the archipelago, we might be able to pick you up a bit further south, from Bastedalen or Olshammar. There will be an extra fee depending on pick up place, see below.
