Description

Paddle with me, starting at Haslatangen, gliding past wind-swept reeds and into shallow waters rich with kelp and coastal life. We will soon reach the Jerken Moraine, a striking ridge of pebbles shaped by ancient glaciers during the last Ice Age around 10,000 years ago. These glacial deposits tell a story of shifting landscapes — as the ice receded, it left behind this moraine, now visible above the waterline. We glide beside the moraine, with seaweed, coastal birdlife, and the calm sunlit sea surrounding us. Though the moraine is walkable, our kayak journey stays afloat, giving us a unique view of its geological wonder. The gentle splash of each stroke, combined with soothing water sounds, creates a natural ASMR effect for deep relaxation and immersion.
