Stockholm's archipelago offers many opportunities for great paddle experiences. Here you can get inspiration for everything from a wonderful evening paddle to week-long trips.
How far should I paddle?
A normal strong paddler paddles about 20-25 km in one day or about 3-4 km / h. If you are an inexperienced paddler, it is better that you and your party plan for slightly shorter trips.
