Kayak adventure coming up!

June 21, 2015/ Jens Liljegren

During the upcoming week we will be following the rivers downstream in our Foldable Kayaks from Kilsbergen all the way to Lake Mälaren - the third largest lake in Sweden. Mälaren reaches into Stockholm and finally the water finds it's way out to the Baltic Sea. Kilsbergen is a location where the water divides east or west depending on which side the rain falls.

Jan had this poetic idea of following the first drops of rainwater until they reach Lake Mälaren and then jump on board, beginning our long Journey. Great idea!

We will try to cover a distance of approximately 156 kilometers (97 miles) - alternatively 86 kilometers (53 miles) because of time pressure to be back the 29th of June in Stockholm - Pictures and stories to follow when we get back.
