The peacefully winding waterways of the pristine Malingsbo-Kloten Nature Reserve is home to one of the most remarkable mammals of the taiga eco-system, the Beaver. Have you ever seen a Beaver? Did you know that its nest can be as tall as a human and that it can cut a big tree with it´s bare teeth? Join us for a genuine safari tour and meet this fascinating Engineer of the forest.

As the day comes to an end and dusk falls we enter our canoes and paddle down the river silently not to disturb the wildlife. Our sharpened senses and intense search for any trace of Beaver eventually takes us to one of it´s well camouflaged nests. The scenery is idyllic with lush trees and a black water mirror. Suddely ripples break the flat surface. The next moment a wet little creature appears on the shore right in front of you, the Beaver has arrived for it´s evening feeding!

The silent river eventually leads us to a traditional forest farm house where we are invited to enjoy a steady dinner. The Malingsbo-Kloten Nature Reserve is known for it´s sparsely populated woodlands, many untouched lakes and rich wildlife. And the long sun hours of the light Nordic Summer will enable us to enjoy every moment of this eventful journey
