Package deals – tailored to your canoe trip
At Tørring Kanoudlejning, we’ve put together unique package deals that make it easy to combine paddling with overnight stays in the scenic surroundings of the Gudenåen.
Family packages – convenient solutions for the whole family
Our Family Packages are perfect for families, families with young children, and friends travelling together where the trip is planned in advance. Overnight stays take place at selected campsites and tent sites chosen by you, with tents already pitched and ready on arrival. Each tent is equipped with 4 camp beds, but you can book up to 5 people per tent, as long as you remember to bring an extra sleeping mat for the 5th person. The tents are located at:
- Åstedbro Teltplads
- Vestbirk Camping
- Gammel Rye Teltplads
- Holmens Camping
The tents are equipped with camp beds, so you don’t have to pitch a tent and can focus on enjoying the trip. Just bring your own sleeping bag and any other necessary gear. The campsites offer family-friendly facilities and plenty of space for play and relaxation. The tent sites are more basic, but always with proper toilet facilities. The price includes accommodation at the chosen site, so it’s an all-in-one package.
Pioneer packages – close to nature
For those who want a true nature experience, we offer Pioneer Packages with overnight stays at basic tent sites along the Gudenåen. You’ll stay in a 4-person igloo tent, which is included in the price. This is the ideal package for nature enthusiasts who want to get really close to the Gudenåen’s unique surroundings. You decide where to stay overnight, but we recommend the basic tent sites, some of which are free and others cost up to DKK 50 per person per night. The price of overnight stays is not included in the package price.
