Kayaking on Piława (Gwda) river in Drawskie Lake District (Pojezierze Drawskie)

We rented kayaks from www.mrowka.pl, they advised us on a suitable route, as long as we the time we had (4 days), the starting point and potential end points (and drive us and pick us up there), we got a map and all good advices. We started on the lake in Łubowo and finished shortly before Czechyń. Most beautful part is from Nadarzyce to Szwecja which is also a good optoin for 1 day trip. The river is amazingly clean with (crampons living in) until Głowaczewo. Before Głowaczewo is fishing farm which takes clean water from the river and later give it back but not clean anymore.... On the way you can sleep on the campings with fireplaces and evnings with the guitar(campings are in the map we got or just online) or in the wild there are many suitable places as well. Be aware that in few places are obstacles (power station, damming etc.) and you need to move the kayaks on the land for some meters (20-50 m). You need to be stron enough for it. River is shallow and very kids friendly. You can take kids of any age with.

Czech Amazonka

Have your kid ever told you he wants to be jungle explorer? If yes, then the river Ploučnice is the the place for you. You can rent a canoe from the rental company meandry. They can also bring you to the start and pick up from the point were you finish. On the way you can experience Ploučnice gap, weirs, meander and in the landscape park (protected area) parts of the river lots of trees, bushes and wood in the water that make it a bit more difficult to go through but also build the impression of Amazonka.

In the areas in the basin of the river Spree on the North of Cottbus was established nature reserve. In an artificial way the industrialized river is made natural again np. bend in the river are build. In the same time the area is prepared for tourists and offers a nice picnic place and cycling/walking roads.
