River description:

Blšanka river  flows to the west in direction of Lubenec, turning to north-east , this direction is held up to its mouth into Ohře river. The river-basin  makes 483 km2. The river flows throughout flat valley between meadows and hop-fields. The river-bed is many times surrounded with willow-trees along banks. The river-bed is 4 m narrow, before the mouth it becomes wider up to 8-10 m. However, most of weirs on flow are not passable. The stream is calm without  rapids, the only obstacle is  new wood  along banks.

Blšanka river is possible to be descended after thaw in spring or after strong  rains. For the upper section it is a position in Holedeč 90, for lower flow 70 cm on the same index.

The navigation is slow, owing to the fact that the boats are to be  carried over the weirs and the obstacles in the river, as there are many trees, for example.  You have to calculate with a speed of 3-4 kms per hour. The passage can be run in open canoe, too.
