Tjust kanotled is one of the east coast’s longest paddle routes – just over five miles through Tjustskärgården outside Västervik in northern Småland. Trail connects lakes and protected archipelago to a classical multi-day tour of calm water.
The route is suitable for those who want to paddle stages with tentting along the way. The archipelago is rich in islands and natural harbours, but parts are open and weather-sensitive – plan the day stages after your habit and check the wind.
