Guided Tour
Björkön
Join us for a guided tour!
On this guided kayak trip we go to Björkön where we paddle along Göksholm's nature reserve, an environment that offers a rich bird life and beautiful views. During our trip we paddle along green areas and small islands where there are good chances to see the magnificent sea eagle.
We start our day with a common introduction on land and in the water at the kayak center in Katrinelund. Together we paddle north, past cobs and skerries. On our route we pass Engelbrektsudden, the place where it is believed that rebel leader Engelbrekt was murdered when he was on his way from Örebro to Stockholm. Shortly after, we reach the Björkön reserve, which also includes the water and the smaller islands around the island itself.
Here we meet the varied nature and the open lands that remain after the farm that previously existed on the island. Once in the camp, we take a well-deserved coffee break where you will be served something small to eat.
There is time to explore here and for the bathing there is a natural bath next to the camp.
