    Canoeing in Femund Engerdal

    A beautiful combination of large and small waterways in very special mountain scenery makes the canoe paradise Femund Engerdal an attractive area for canoeists.

    Go in search of one of Isteren's many beautiful sandy beaches, or take the family on an adventure in Jyltingsmarka. A trip to Femundsmarka National Park offers opportunities to really enjoy the wilderness. With over 8 square kilometers, the canoeing paradise has something for everyone.

    Canoeing is perfect for getting around lakes and rivers in Femund Engerdal. The 60 kilometer long lake Femund with its associated national park Femundsmarka together form one of southern Norway's last untouched wilderness areas. Here you can be out for days on land or at sea without meeting anyone. Thousands of small lakes, rivers, round mountain peaks and mysterious forests await you.

    Jyltingsmarka

    Jyltingsmarka consists of several smaller bodies of water that are less exposed to wind than the larger lakes Isteren and Femunden. The area is well suited for families, day trips and shorter overnight trips.

    The Ister

    The elongated Ister with its diverse headlands and beaches is described as an eldorado for canoeists. But the water is elongated and exposed to northerly winds. Waves can therefore occur at short notice, and it is recommended to take precautions.

    Femundsmarka

    For those who want the longer trips in the countryside.

    Contact Destinasjon Femund Engerdal for more information about guided paddling.
