KAYAKING

There are plenty of excellent kayaking routes in Poland, which put us in a very close contacts with the mysteries of plant life, birds, etc. National and international kayaking regattas are held every year. The most beautiful route is the almost two hundred kilometre long Krutynia route. The river winds its way among a picturesque landscape of lakes and streams. By the Krutynia route you will easily find tourist facilities such as bars, canteens, landing stages, bivouac grounds, and water sports equipment renting centres.

Nature lovers may also choose the Czarna Hancza route along which they will be accompanied all the time by the rustle of reeds, the singing of birds' and the sight of huge, fallen tree trunks. The route follows the stream of the Czarna Hancza almost all the time, but some times leads across lakes, too. Thus, the kayakers paddle through the Wigry, Serwy and Niecko lakes as well as along the Augustowski canal built some 150 years ago.

Another interesting Mazurian route is that of the Drweca River. Relatively easy to get through is the Brda River route. which is considered by many kayakers as Europe's most beautiful: it runs through the scenic landscape of the Bory Tucholskie Forest and conjoins a few lakes.

Very exciting, although somewhat exhausting as it requires frequent transportation of kayaks over dry land, is the Gwda River route. This 146 kilometre long river springs from Lake Wierzchowo, northeast of Szczecinek. In its upper course the river flows through many lakes.

The Slupia, Drawa, and Ina Rivers in the Pomeranian Lakeland are also well-suited for kayak trips.

In the vicinity of Debki, you can hire kayaks in Lubkowo on the Zarnowieckie lake and kayak up the river Piasnica to Debki, where the river enters the Baltic sea in a beautiful delta.
