The trail at a glance

This scenic route is suitable for paddling both in kayak and canoe. The beach is easily accessible from the car park (about 30 m). The area along the shore offers a diversity of wildlife, including many bird species. You can also combine paddling with one of the scenic mountain hikes in the village (please find a trail description on morotur.no).
