Broby Canoe Rental – Canoe and Kayak on the Suså near Sorø

In the heart of the lush Zealand landscape, where the Suså River winds quietly through meadows, forests and open expanses, Broby Kanoudlejning stands as the gateway to one of Denmark's most beautiful paddling experiences. Since 1976, the canoe rental has welcomed guests to canoe trips on the Suså – a tradition that has made it a permanent part of West Zealand's outdoor life and an attraction that draws both locals and visitors from far afield.

The Suså is Zealand's longest river, stretching through a varied landscape that changes character along the way. From the calm stretches south of Sorø, where the river glides quietly between water meadows and gentle hills, to the more open passages at Lake Tystrup and Lake Bavelse, the route offers a constantly changing natural scenery. Along the way, you pass historic estates, small villages and untouched natural areas that convey a sense of timelessness and tranquility. It is an experience that appeals to all the senses – the sound of the paddle meeting the water surface, the sight of a grey heron taking flight from the bank, and the scent of wild meadow flowers along the river's edges.

Broby Kanoudlejning offers canoe trips in many variations. You can choose shorter trips that can be completed in a single day, or put together longer expeditions spanning several days with overnight stays by the river. The canoe rental has a large fleet of canoes, and the equipment is well-maintained and safe, so even first-time paddlers can feel confident on the water. Life jackets in all sizes are included, and the staff are happy to provide a thorough introduction to technique and route before you set off.

One of the truly special qualities of a canoe trip on the Suså is the opportunity to combine physical activity with silence and nature. There are no engines, no car traffic and no disturbances – only the water, the nature and the company you have brought with you. This makes the trip ideal for families, groups of friends or couples seeking a different way to spend time together. Children love the experience of sitting in the canoe and watching the landscape glide past, while adults enjoy the calm rhythm and the chance to completely disconnect from everyday life.

Along the Suså you will find several scenic campsites where you can go ashore, light a fire and enjoy a packed lunch or prepare food over an open flame. Spending the night in a tent by the riverbank provides a special sense of adventure and closeness to nature, and the silence in the evening, broken only by nature's own sounds, is an experience that can seldom be matched. For those who prefer day trips, there are good opportunities to enjoy a break at one of the many landing spots along the way.
