Ahooj Discoverers!

 

I’d like to invite all wild nature lovers and tranquility seekers to a very special trip! We will canoe on Teplá Vltava in the 1.zone of the National Park Šumava where the river meanders through highland meadows, peatbogs and woods.

 

Canoeing in the national park is restricted and paying a registration fee for each boat is required. This makes the trip more expensive than our previous excursions on water, however I’m sure that it is worth it!

 

DIFFICULTY: Medium

About 30 km of canoeing in two days. The river is easy (ZWB to WWI) and there are no weirs however, previous canoeing experience is recommended.

 

What is absolutely necessary though, is willingness to withstand unfavourable weather because this trip will go ahead even if it is cold and rainy (very common in Šumava).

 

You will be rewarded by a very special experience!
