12 BUILD YOUR OWN LOG RAFT FOR A MULTI-DAY BACKWATERS TRIP

There’s no finer way to give civilisation the slip than by building your own log raft from scratch and floating downstream, past sandbanks and forests. Harking back to a more primitive age, these multi-day tours take to the Klarälven river, which flows through Värmland in the heart of Sweden. Time melts away. The summer light is ever changing. Days are spent fishing or spotting wildlife, including beavers, moose and deer. Nights are spent by warming campfires and gazing up to skies pinpricked with stars. Tours range from one night to a week from June to August. realscandinavia.com vildmark.se KW
