Protecting bird life
Källtorpssjön is a popular place for birds. There are also smaller islands in the lake which are bird reserves.

Paddle in Källtorpssjön
Most of our guests are content to paddle in Källtorpssjön. Paddling around that lake takes about 1-2 hours, a distance of about 4 km.
Day trip through three lakes and several canals
We also recommend a longer trip, to Älta
On the map below you can see what a trip from Hellasgården to Älta and back looks like.
You can borrow a cart from us and roll your kayak to the starting point 1 or 2. If you choose 2, you will have to carry the kayak about 70 meters on a small wooded trail and through woods. We therefore recommend starting place 1 in the first instance.
