Canoe tour on floating tracks - 2-7 days
Join our canoe touring adventure across different lakes and follow the traces and cultural monuments to floating.
In 1970 the last trunks were used for timber floating on the waters around Hovin. This tour takes you across shallow waters, small canals and slight white water at the foot of the majestic Blefjell mountain and tells the history of floating in the northeast of county Telemark! This is a unique experience of canoeing, bathing, touring, nature and culture in Norway including visits to a floating dam, a waterfall and a floating tunnel as well as an impression of medieval copper mining in the Blefjell mountain.
