Description runoff
Final canoeing Gwda and its basin - Płytnica, the hardest trail, though
proved, it's not as scary.
The main canoe trails Gwda, from easiest to most difficult:
1. Pilawa.
2. Rurzyca.
3. Gwda.
4. Dobrzyca.
5. White and Blueberry.
6. Płytnica
Aside Debrzynkę, Black and Samborkę, that too - very seldom - visited by
fans, above six that would be set. Płytnica left myself for dessert. I knew,
that is a difficult and demanding trail. The river is not long, it can be divided into four sections,
differ in character:
1) Valley Płytnicy, from the village of Wild near Szczecinek, three lakes: Rymierowo,
Przełęg and Kniewo. Episode picturesque, the gutters of three lakes and two connecting sections
Lake.
2) Traverse (former), from the outflow of the lake Kniewo, to Sypniewo. In principle, inaccessible to
Canoe. Penetrated quite accurately as a walker, River dies in the marshes, spills.
Beaver activity has caused, that summer in some places in the river there is no water.
Despite the difficulties, as this part of the river swam the greatest enthusiasts. How - to me
mystery. I will not attempt to.
3) Sypniewo - Buda. For fans of swimming ditches.
4) Buda - Płytnica, or in short: "Zwałka".
Given the objective of Gwdę not accepted assumptions, that'll swim every episode. Rurzycę
Let it go at all, Gwdę "done" to Lędyczka, Pilaf, DOBRZYCA and White with
Plumes, in principle, entirely. The same applied to Płytnicy. 4 July 2009 I shed so
kayak (two polyurethane) the river in the town of Buda. Alone, with the intention of camping
na Fertilizers. In front of me 17 kilometers of the river. Normally I drive daily 25 – 30 kilometers,
on one oar, flowing along with partner. However Płytnica so demanding, that
despite the short distance, I was prepared for a two-day, lone runoff. Do
Sites I reached by turning right at currents, driving route 22 Jastrowie side in
direction Wałcza. The bridge near the church building, for the communist era turned into a warehouse
local state farm, is the place to start. Since the beginning of sculptures(cz)each shows a lion's claw. Zwałka
for zwałką, beaver dam, time 1,5 kilometer per hour. Fortunately, this year the water is
much, otherwise there would still attracting the boat on the bottom. Oars hindrance of edges, no current
is too rapid, not so difficult to maneuver between obstacles. Get out of the kayak
very common, Additional attractions - downhill from there on the river, beavers that built us.
The trail does not cut, this year, or nobody has flowed, or only a few kajaczków. Still forest,
when 2 kilometers, the water becomes, influence between cane. Note on coming from the left
supply side or dead bed, guided by the right, for barely noticeable shock.
Liquid is difficult, Also hard to overcome obstacles, you can not enter the water - swamp, not
ma brzegu – bagno, and you need to get out of the kayak and move it over a fallen tree, some
acrobatic circus. Reach the old mill in the currents. On the right place
to carry the, Unfortunately - it is private property, greeted me two dogs, I have to try the
left side. I approach dangerously close to the dam, which is not marked at all,
bleed-foot of water prevents not only the run-off, kayak can not even rid.
The boat in the thick mud, I - in sweat, I conquer with great difficulty 1 meter separates me from
very high murka, which covers the shore. This is useful for my height, around which
the trail was rather hurdle. Drag boat, thinking, I have the hardest carry the
for each, but I did not know, what awaits me ... Behind the dam, water flows more swift
stream, go under the bridge road No. 22, right-hand, behind the trees
visible nice building with half-timbered. I make a short stop and continue to battle. The first
few kilometers currents is probably the most difficult part, water too much, brook
T, obstacles sometimes what 20 meters, single and series. Sometimes you need a kayak
raise very high, sometimes I go to the bottom, I just sticking my long nose. There is
several obstacles, which pokonałbym a One, when the two had to get out, because it was
too long or wide to certain maneuvers, But generally I, that the two are
better on this route:
– allows you to lie down and swim under low fallen trunks,
– easier "jumps" to the lodges, dams and other obstacles, extending a few centimeters from
water.
Two is also more stable and easier to get out of it and to not lock, sometimes quite
difficult conditions. Additional note: need to have a strong paddle / a!
Water slowly calms down, number of obstacles decreases, again reedbeds, edges up
move away. Channel to flow very narrow, sometimes about 1 Subway, bounce off the paddle from
trzcin. When the hail (phytocenoses name riverine forest) closer to the water, then again
appear ruin parties. We go through the overgrown lake, created by the weir in S. Your
I experienced a great meeting: passed me on the water beaver. These animals, which is above the
rivers so much, meet directly is very difficult. Flowing right under the kayak
stworek nearly a meter long and a really exciting experience. Survived
also a moment of fear, when right behind me, preceded by a noise trampled reeds, by
galloped handsome deer creek. Not that you can see the swampy thicket, when run
by not large animals. We sail on a small lake, the only open body of water
area of approximately. 1 has, the right of the forester, near the road bridge a good point
biwakowy. For bridge (need to slightly bend), distal portion of the lake. Tributary to the weir. I
tu konsternacja. Which way to move a kayak? The problem seems to be unsolvable, decides
to the right side, kayak three meters to the top, uff, uff, then to the wall and almost two meters in
vertically down. Dense nettle belt, mud underfoot. Burned and battered drag it
boat to the water, when I manage to get, I feel like an animal aquatic, which escaped from
unfavorable land to their environment. I am indeed all wet, fight
obstacles and the water in a kayak, dipping to the waist and wading in the water also
embracing the environment. On one of the barriers fell down and ran after
neck. "Mister wet T-shirt", I only wish, that in the mud and my belly is so
highlighted ... For the weir river getting wider, Continue with wypłyceniami, sometimes the bottom of the stone
with protruding boulders. Here we meet also record a series of obstacles, not enough, the boat
squeeze between the trunks at lofty heights, This length of tens of meters
obstacle after obstacle. Next, difficult stretch, but gradually becoming lighter fluid.
It goes to several hundred meters sections with no major obstacles! Slaughter for slaughter, some
fight, but the rate appears to be growing so, that about 15.00 tributary to the bridge rail line
Poznań - Kolobrzeg. I know, that the city is not far Płytnica, Meal So Red
Bull and calling for Mr. Jack, I conclude that today without stopping. After less than an hour I can see
first buildings. A holiday village, obviously hostile for canoeists, edges
pogrodzone and inaccessible. At the beginning of a small dam, kayak can rid, need to get off, but
there is no need to carry, Only caution when getting! In the village, a few
difficult zwałek, a couple of bridges and final.
The whole episode beat in 9 hours, razem z postojami, So it was not so bad, how to
expected. The river still flows among forests. Lots of natural camping sites,
allowing you to relax and - if they run out of power - sleep (I recall, however,, that there is a risk
a powerful mandate!). Day-drain is a fairly large effort, I am the next day
regenerated force. Battered and bedraggled, but glad I waited for transport and
hey - the house. If you're planning on Gwda flow, it does not encourage you to-day
trailing Płytnica, on the second day of aching muscles, and spine and rebels. Pulling a boat
zwałkach is probably the biggest load, since the same distance is quite modest.
As I wrote the trail is wild and niepoprzycinany. I suggest, keep it that way - it is never
not typical river runoff, Oh to be as pretty, zwałkowa route, they
all attractions.
