To experience Lake Vänern with both winds, sunshine and thunder & rain is powerful. With Vänervård, the trip is as safe as possible. Everyone should take a trip to experience the natural and cultural landscape in the archipelago surrounding Lurö. Getting a guided tour both at sea and on land gives a deeper understanding of the life people lived here, of how unique the area is and the importance of preserving and caring for the culture and biodiversity that exists in the area. Vänervård plays an important role in taking care of the landscape’s nature and culture conservation. Being guided through the Lurö archipelago and landing in its fantastic places gives me as a human being a greater humility for life - both big and small. Thank you for a fantastic day on Lake Vänern and for all the stories. Because without them, some of the cultural heritage that is out there disappears. There is only one thing to say - book a tour with Martin as guide you too!
