The route
M/S Fæmund has a total of 5 stops on the east side of the lake and 3 on the west side. Join us for an unforgettable boat trip from the stop of your choice. The boat’s stops also serve as starting points for trips in and around Femundsmarka, whether on foot or in a canoe – with or without a fishing rod.
Femundsmarka National Park
Femundsmarka National Park was established in 1971 and has helped maintain the need for a ferry service on Femunden. The park features enchanting pine forests and countless fishing lakes. If you venture a bit off the marked tourist trails, you can experience truly untouched wilderness in an area that extends well into Sweden.
Remember that you are a guest of nature when you visit the national park. The right of public access allows us to roam freely. However, you are obliged to act considerately, ensuring that animals and plants are not harmed or disturbed. Leave nature as you would like to find it.
Here you can read advice on travel.
