06 Solgenån  

Solgenån is a tributary of the Emån and has its source in the lake Solgensjön in the highland of Småland. At its start the Solgenån is only 5-10 m wide. The total height of fall is as much as 49 m, but most of this (44 m) is concentrated along a stretch of only 6 km. This is where most of the "overland work" takes place.

Continue to Emån mellersta via 1 portage (0.2 km).
