About us
About us - Tørring Kanoudlejning & Canoeing and Silkeborg Canoe Centre
We are the proud owners of both Tørring Kanoudlejning & Kanofart and Silkeborg Kanocenter, where we offer unique experiences on the Gudenåen and Silkeborg Lakes. With our two bases, we can give you the best starting point for an unforgettable trip in a canoe, kayak or motorboat.
Tørring Kanoudlejning & Canoeing - where Gudenåen begins
In Tørring, Gudenåen starts its journey from Tinnet Krat and flows northwards. From here you can experience the southernmost and most scenic part of the river - always in the direction of the current. Our base in Tørring has everything you need for a great start to your trip:
- Canoe House: A lovely place with covered tables/benches where you can enjoy breakfast or pack in peace and quiet.
- Toilets and plenty of space: Convenient facilities make it easy to prepare for your trip.
- Car parking: A large car park close to Kanohuset, where it costs DKK 25 per day to park.
If you choose to purchase car transport, our skilled partners will take care of driving your car to the final destination. Please note that you still have to pay for parking for the days you are travelling.
Silkeborg Canoe Centre - sailing on the beautiful Silkeborg Lakes
From our base at Silkeborg Harbour, we offer canoe, kayak and motorboat hire for hourly sailing. Here you can experience the unique opportunity to start and finish in the same place. Explore the Silkeborg Lakes and sail all the way from Silkeborg to Ry or Klostermølle - and back again.
The Silkeborg Lakes and the area around Søhøjlandet is known for its fantastic nature and cosy atmosphere. It's a perfect destination for those who want a flexible and relaxed trip with both nature experiences and the opportunity to explore the area at your own pace.
Our mission - an unforgettable experience
Since 2002, we have been in the canoe and kayak hire business and have made it our goal to provide the best service to our customers. We pride ourselves on offering high quality equipment, service and facilities, and we always strive to give you the best possible experience - before, during and after your trip.
Based in Tørring and Silkeborg, we give you the flexibility and freedom of choice to experience Gudenåen and the Silkeborg Lakes on your own terms. We also welcome criticism, praise and good ideas so we can get even better at giving you the perfect trip.
We look forward to helping you create memories for life on the Gudenåen and Silkeborg Lakes!

Canoe trip on Gudenåen
Canoe hire on Gudenåen - nature experiences for everyone
A canoe trip on Gudenåen is an unforgettable experience for both children and adults.

Our tours are ideal for families, friends, schools, institutions, scouts and companies that want to combine community, challenges and beautiful nature.
Start your adventure in Tørring, where Gudenåen begins its journey, and experience the scenic landscape in the direction of the river. If you need inspiration for your canoe trip or canoeing holiday, you can find many great trip suggestions on this page.
Sailing on the Silkeborg Lakes
From our base at Silkeborg Harbour, we offer canoe, kayak and motorboat hire by the hour. You can explore the Silkeborg Lakes and sail out from Silkeborg Harbour, where we and our skilled team of young people will draw maps and guide you on the right trip for you. It's actually possible to sail the stretch between Silkeborg and Ry, all the way down to Klostermølle and back again in a canoe or kayak, but you "only" get as far as Klostermølle and back again if you set aside 3 days for such a trip... The perfect choice if you want to start and finish in the same place.
