Apart from such extreme kayaking. Samborką, in addition to the above-mentioned fragments are still navigable m.in. Black, Debrzynka and ther river, but above six is the main routes basin Gwda. When it comes to beauty, does not take the classification, each of them is worth passage and everyone is different. They share a, that all flow through the beautiful, Forest, at times primeval forests areas, picturesque lakes, backwaters and reedbeds.
The White Trail - a tufted, next most rarely visited Płytnicy trail. Sometimes a little harder, to flow, however, even for non-technical.
White is a tributary of Blackberries and begins to run from the lake Bielsko, long trough, the north end of which is based on Bialy Bor. For kayakers "river" swimming on the lakes is a bit boring, therefore, runoff is best to start around 2 kilometers from the exit of the river from the lake, in Trzmielewie. Coming from Bialy Bor turn the national "25" and after a few kilometers, according to the guideline, turn right to Trzmielewa (Full bar). Causes kayak on the beach, sail along the left bank, visible towards the build in at the former mill. The outflow of the river clearly marked, the mill kayaks move the right side. Further, the river quite narrow, Steeplechase. After passing under the railway bridge we continue in the woods.
More and more reeds. On the left side of the narrow strip of land separates the river from the lake, which we need to cut out the transition affect. Continuing the small river rafting ends up entering a thicket of reeds, which had to withdraw. Jeziorka connect to each other and taper, and finally pool begins to take shape again river. Along the way, will meet herons.
Next the river enters the forest, is slightly wider, fallen trees in places further obstructs trail, but everything to overcome. For Rydzewem (see individual buildings), again begin to change the reed with clear sections. There is no workaround, you need to break through the thicket, it is quite cumbersome, the biggest problem is the meanders of the river in the reeds, where the forward flow is possible, any maneuver while a lot of effort. Because you can not see the corners and edges of the river, I had several times, came ashore, withdraw kayak and try to swim arc. Before Bleached end reedbeds, there is little zwałek. A greater obstacle is the bridge and falling into the river passages fencing pastures, where you can see animals. We watched a wonderful four stallions, clearly curious single kajaczkiem.
We also met two goats, most powerful emotions aroused while, probably close 1000 - Pound (and as a former farmer know at this quite well) two bulls, which accompanied us buzzing furiously along the shore over 100 meters. My heart sank, when I thought, what we are in danger, when these animals enter the water you will want to pay careful attention. Another emotion aroused bare wires dangling electric fences pasture by the river. On this episode, also survived quite dangerous event, fallen log, under which sailed in the "lying", slipped out of the trunk and pinned me and canoe, happily, did not hit in the head, So I was able to crawl out and somehow continue to push the canoe. Dopływamy the Bielicy. On the right side of the road before the bridge well prepared place for camping. Wykoszona meadow, roofing, table and benches with a fireplace. The river calms down and behind the village affected by the forest, which will accompany us until the end of the principle of runoff. The stop is best done in Bielicy, to Międzybórz no good places to stop, although we made ourselves at one additional zwałce, through which we had to move the canoe. However, the trail is clearly prepared to runoff, when in many places you can see traces of the saw motor, I cut fallen tree trunks, causing, that very rarely get out of the kayak. The river meanders among wetland forest, moderately swift current, often marshy shores. Accompany us irises blooming beautifully in the summer.
Such ukwiecenia not met on any of the rivers. Water very clear, bottom is generally sandy. Forest looks at times like a forest. Impressions - excellent. There are small tributaries of the river. Reach the valve, river turns at right angles to the right, in front you can see the flow on the oxbow, we Rafting the stones nice Bystrem few meters. For the more cautious - need to carry to the right. Then, again, the forest. We reach the first buildings Miedzybor. On the left side the next tributary, him - well prepared place for a small bivouac. There's even a wood fireplace, However, not much rozgłaszałabym, possibly, everything that has been prepared and is being used by the owners of cottages built near. We enter the village, which from the river shows the most unpleasant face. Garbage, a nightmarish view of the estates "of facilities". A dozen footbridges, wires, pipe by the river. Beach offline. Międzybórz is a large village, it asks, make a stop here, drink tea or beer. For many canoeists could be the first night in a tent, but the camping by the river as there is no. In the village asking for a rural tourism, I'm not indicated, I have not found anything on the Internet also. In Miedzybor is quite nice neo-Gothic church, shop, school, even a small catering (bierkeller, I do not know just, invite, or warn). Forest behind the village again.
After a few kilometers on the left big, as it seems, tributary. It turns out, that we are on Blackberries and this White, although noticeably wider, a tributary. But it is not surprising, if we look at merging the river from the shore, It can be clearly seen, that the White - is really white, and blueberry - black. Color suitable marsh sediments, which takes along this river. After connecting the water is dark, hence probably the name given tufted. The nature of the river has not changed, still sail forest, number zwałek very moderate. There are buildings forest settlement Boar (separate from the main Dzików, located on top of Blueberry). Before the bridge footbridge, at which we can pull the canoe on the shore. In the village a nice pre-war buildings, visible traces of former splendor Dzików, which was even school and the seat of (Note - Prussian villages united several mountain villages, Polish present from them are much larger). In Dzików, 50 meters from the River Farm: "Oskarówka", conducted by Halina and Zbyszko Matusewiczów, Boar 12, tel. 600670322. Places affordable, Household food - excellent, m.in. fresh trout, potatoes with dill from your own garden, revelation. Very nice atmosphere, although this is not a place for noisy, amused to the middle of the night groups, values here rather calm (but I did not have to practice foreign to my nature abstinence!). Rafting on the second day of the transfer kayak starts with "Oskarówki" River, plum near the footbridge into the water, bags of luggage poupychane the boat and we are on the water. After a little over a mile before us appears:
Forest Manor is a need to carry, trout dam pass on the right. For Tama wypłycenia, water flows back into the river channels from fish farming, where you can buy fresh and smoked trout. We are in the town of Riverview, I think here also there is no legal camping site or lodging . The river is quite wide, slightly more obstacles, but it flows very smoothly, still forest. Areas on both sides of the most wetlands, do not encourage camping. The trail approaches the highway Black - Rzeczenica, after a few kilometers flow under a road bridge. Areas, which belong to the most interesting cross the forests of Pomerania. The richness and variety of species stand resulted in the creation of a number of reserves, of which the most interesting of the natural path for pedestrian tourists pass on the right side (though not directly adjacent to the river). This reserve "Tisza in Czarnem", the second largest cluster of trees in Poland. Easily accessible from the highway Black - Ergot (Left out of the way Black - Rzeczenica). The river is becoming wilder, while approaching the Black. The town, famous of the great prison, after passing the "monastic" complex of buildings, shows us its ugly side. The only possible point to stop, This fork of the river - the only island on Blackberries, which passed. We can stay here, but I would not advise leaving kayaks, the park is filming a typical, uninteresting company. After a stop follow in the left arm, law is closed dam and mill. Under the road bridge bright, on a rapid stream, pass several footbridges, Note Float! Of course, anywhere you can not stop, city, where there is a lot of interest, can not open up the river. And of course rubbish, bottle, bonds, town watch from the side cribs, garbage and dilapidated facade. Injury. From the Black trend is still smart, adds excitement and quite difficult to overcome common obstacles. Several times we grow a real balancing act, although still see traces of the saw motor, However, this is also a lot of fresh sedition and certification activities of beavers. Before us the last episode of runoff, led by military training (extending from the right bank).
Sometimes the river flows between steep banks of. Las Alder - Beech enters the pine. It's a sign, that we are approaching the Gwda. We sail through the grounds landscaped park "Valley of Gwda", which also includes the final section of Blackberries. We reach a wooden bridge, caution should affect, wartkiego because of the current and a nice place to stop, just behind the breastbone. We failed to brake and turn the boat and we had to maneuver sharply, working intensively paddle, to moor. The bridge wooden, looks very haggard, and ride him like cars and tractors. Behind the bridge signboard of a landscaped park with a schematic map of sites. Return water, trend is still rapid, unexpected influence on Gwdę. Guided by the left we can finish rafting near a small power station at the dam in Węgorzewo, but I headed in the right. Sailing a few hundred meters below the current, fighting the swift current of the vortices and managed to swim to the campsite in Lubnicy, flowing from the mouth of Blackberries is located on the right bank. The last section is a big challenge, I spoke with the owner of the field, who spoke to me, that many people towing canoes wading in water, unable to overcome the current. Camping had developed, Although welcomed us with furious barking of two dogs, later, however, we were able to make friends with them. The prize - a cold beer, when waiting for transport.
