06 Skeboån

The part of the Skeboån River that runs to the town of Hallstavik can be a suitable follow-up to paddling the Harbroholmsån or Lake Närdingen, preferably when the water level is high.

The Skeboån is a member of that exclusive little club of Swedish rivers that run directly northwards. This is something that no other navigable stream in Uppland does. After Hallstavik it flows into the sea.
