Published: 14.4.2008
From time to time, somebody is alluring me: „ Let´s go on water, there was a rain in Jizerské Mountains yesterday, so it is possible to descend Kamenice-river!“ or „ This snow-thaw and sunshine is favourable, let´s try to pass Doubrava-river, it´s a lot of snow available, isn´t it wonderful?“.

Watermen in winter
Published: 2.4.2008

If car-wheel would be ruled by a person who cannot drive a car, it is taken as very dangerous. Provided you set into kayak for the first time and try to navigate, it has the same effect.

Seakayak
Published: 1.4.2008
Ride on seakayak was not a Czech phenomenon. Anyway, the number of kayakmen, and all of those, who prefer to pass the extreme water descends, is increasing. Frankly speaking, kayakmen in Europe are more extended zoological-art in comparison with our country.

German "Kanutmagazine" writes about planned constructions of dams in Austria. Its name is "Electric Power Stations Illusion in Austria". It is a fact, the dams are being built everywhere.

Danube-river is an European river, and the whole river is navigated by watermen, who prefer calm and quick stream, not difficult rapids, from springs up to Danube delta mouth. Danube-river forms on its flow, spontaneously or artificially, various shoulders, the nearest of these are for us Mosoni Duna (Hungarian shoulder) and Small Danube in Slovakia.

Why not to go to Poland ? In past, we went there for shopping. The excursions to the seashores were effected seldom, anyway, it has its magic.

First, we discovered lakes area which are Mazury Lakes in north eastern part of the country.
