Other possible routes in the vicinity (within a radius of about 80 km):

Skarlanka and Brodnicka Struga and many lakes connected by them – the Brodnica Lake District Trail [NW].

Lutryna [NW]
Rypienica [NW]
Dzieżgoń [NW]
Pasłęka from Lake Isąg (a difficult but beautiful river in many sections, full of surprises, rather for experienced canoeists) is a reserve.
Łyna from its source to the Polish border (canoeing on the reserve section of Łyna from Lake Łańskie to the village of Ruś requires a special permit from the Nature Conservator).

Note – some rivers and canals are only navigable when the water level is high. Unfortunately this can change quickly and the possibility of low water should always be taken into account. Rivers where low water occurs more frequently are marked [NW], but in the upper reaches it is possible on almost all rivers.

Other possible routes (over 80 km)

We also organise trips to Latvia and Lithuania. In Latvia we recommend rafting on the river Gaea and in Lithuania on the river Ula.

We can organise canoe trips on any other river – even abroad. Sometimes it is worth it – for longer trips we accept lower prices per kilometre.

You are also welcome to join us on other rivers – see “our rafting trips” for details.

The Pomeranian rivers are more distant, but still easily accessible, including the particularly beautiful Wda, Brda, Łupawa, but also others such as Słupia, Radunia, Łeba, Gwda and the Great Mazurian Lakes and numerous rivers there, including the rarely used Orzysz-Wilkus-Pisa, Sapina-Węgorapa, Dajna, Gołdapa

As for the more distant rivers, we recommend rafting on the Gaia and Ula. If conditions are favourable, we also recommend rafting on the Ogre and Nemunas rivers.
