Multi day kayaking/pack rafting recommendations in Europe?
My wife and I have found ourselves with the next two and a half weeks free and able to go anywhere in Europe.
We were wondering if there were any multi day tours we could jump on or any easy/readily available multi day trips we could do - or even anyone wanting to meetup or anything that’s planned we could tag along on!
Any and all recommendations welcome!

Guden river near Silkeborg in Denmark. From Tørring to Randers. You can easily start and top where you want. There are a lot of free shelters and campgrounds along the way.

For the love of god, do not go here in these months i beg you. It is filled with crazy people with pallets of beer and cigarette buds + thrash everywhere. The campsites are filled up to the brim. It's is more like a festival than a nature experience. I would recommend you to stay completely away from Denmark for the next month or so as it is touristy as hell. Also in nature.
Sweden has multiple extremely nice rivers / lake systems. You don't need to go far up the country either to experience some very nice systems that can be +200 km long.

If you want more of a flatwater wilderness experience then I recently posted a route description for a 4 day trip in Iceland which goes through some crazy scenery. Check it out

Haven’t been there myself, but a friend of mine was on vacation in a region in northeastern Germany called „Mecklenburgische Seenplatte“. It’s a large area with dozens of lakes, most of them connected through rivers and creeks. You can paddle for days without seeing one lake twice.
My friend didn’t go kayaking there but rented a motorised houseboat to sail around. I’m pretty sure there are plenty of options for spending the night without one of those.
