Stop for a bite to eat

Paddle in to Hörviken and leave your kayak next to Hörvikens Marina. A visit to Tap Station Kållandsö Marina is highly recommended. Refill your energy store with tasty food on the quayside and take the opportunity to taste their huge selection of beers on tap! Remember, you should not take the kayak if you have been drinking, so take it easy during your visit and wait until the alcohol has left your body before heading back to Naven.
