Itinerary

  • Day 1: Introduction and the first short stage

    Participants meet in the morning at the campsite U Piráta in Kynšperk nad Ohří or the campsite U Mostu in Chocovice (updated information in travel documents). Introduction with the guide and the other participants. The first short stage to Šabina is an exercise technique for inexperienced paddlers, but others have to get used to the motion on the water too. In the small rapids, you learn how to control the canoe. Today you reach the campsite in Sokolov.

    • Distance: 16 km
    • Overnight stay: taboriste- (low-budget) campsite Sokolov
  • Day 2: challenging rapids

    This day the canoeing trip goes through a deeply wooded valley. In this segment of the river you will find many challenging rapids on. You cross the city Sokolov, formerly a center of industry and mining, now a pleasant town with bright refurbished buildings. Once out of the town, the river is slower and there's time to take a break in the medieval town of Loket with it's beautiful castle.

    • Distance: 13 km
    • Overnight stay: taboriste- (low-budget) campsite near Loket
  • Day 3: Towards Karlovy Vary

    In the morning you'll head towards Karlovy Vary, the spa town of eternal fame. But first, you'll come along a beautiful rocky area called Svatošské skály. According to a legend, the rocks are a petrified wedding party.

    In the afternoon there is of course the possibility to visit the town of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad). It is the largest Czech spa town that's been there since the Middle Ages and is not only visited by famous guests. The spa houses and hotels radiate beauty and wealth.

    • Distance: 14 km
    • Overnight stay: taboriste- (low-budget) camping in Karlovy Vary
  • Day 4:Karlovy Vary free day

    A free day for a tour of the festival city of Karlovy Vary. You can wander around the colonnade all day, taste the springs and listen to local artists. For more sporty people, we recommend renting scooters for a trip to Loket (castle tour) and back.

    • Distance: 0 km
    • Overnight stay: taboriste- (low-budget) camping in Karlovy Vary
  • Day 5: Rapid Hubertus and Cliffs of fairies

    Today you'll start canoeing day with much excitement on the rapid Hubertus. This acceleration can be endlessly trained and exercised.

    On the next route you will find a lot of light rapids. The river gets a little pace. A nice break may be a hike to the "Cliffs of fairies'' (Skály skřítků). You walk through the town Kyselka, where the most famous Mattoni Mineral water is drawn from the ground. We end in campsite Radošov.

    • Distance: 17 km
    • Overnight stay: campsite in Radošov
  • Day 6: Last day of paddling

    On the last day we just paddle through easy rapids to reach the end in the village Vojkovice.

Waanzinnig leuk!

“ We vonden het waanzinnig leuk, het was precies zoals we het hadden gehoopt. Lekker zelfstandig alles bepalen, lekker avontuurlijk. Wij vonden het erg leuk dat de campings niets meer hadden dan het nodige en de natuur was prachtig. Het contact over de boeking ging erg vloeiend goed en de informatie was uitgebreid en duidelijk. Het was jammer dat de kanogids in het Tsjechisch was (lezen over de campings kon niet) maar hij was nog steeds erg behulpzaam.”

“ De kanovakantie was erg geslaagd! We hebben vier dagen gekanood, we vonden de natuur heel mooi. Na het weekend was het heerlijk rustig op de rivier. Elke avond hebben we een kampvuurtje gemaakt; super dat zomaar mag daar 🙂”

★★★★☆
“ De kanotocht was VEEL BETER georganiseerd dan vorig jaar. De kanoleiders waren vrolijk, namen duidelijk op een prettige manier leiding en zochten veel meer contact met de hollanders. Het leuke daarvan was dat wij hollanders daardoor echt meer bij de gehele kanogroep hoorden en duidelijk meer contact met de Tsjechen in de groep kregen. Vorig jaar waren echt de hollanders op elkaar aangewezen, dus dat was dit jaar echt leuker en beter.”
