Did you know that beavers can smell scents in the water? Or that they can build huts that are two meters high? Or almost 1 km long?

At dusk, while the sun sinks behind the treetops, we paddle out on a beaver safari in a canoe. It is in the evening under the protection of the long shadows of the trees that the beaver is most active.

We first paddle out to our wilderness camp where we build a fire over which we make coffee while our guide tells us about the beaver and its history, while at the same time we get to taste freshly caught, smoked whitefish in flat bread.

Then we get back into the canoes and travel as noiselessly as possible over the calm waters of the Hösthån, slowly getting as close as we can to the beaver huts.
