Itinerary

  • Day 1: First stage from Loket to Karlovy Vary

    The first stage starts in Loket, a picturesque town with a medieval structure. High above the river is a stately castle. After you have collected the canoes from the landlord, you will start at Vodácké tábořiště Loket (190.60 r.km) *. In the morning you will first cruise through a beautiful rocky area Svatošské skály, then paddle to Karlovy Vary, the spa town of eternal fame and beautiful architecture - well worth a walk.

    Mooring at the “Pod Mostem” campsite, Karlovy Vary (r. Km 175.80).

    • Distance: 15 km
    • Overnight: Camping Pod Mostem, Karlovy Vary
  • Day 2: challenging rapids Hubertus

    Today you make a shorter canoe stage with an extra challenge - you sail through the rapids Hubertus (which is used for kayak training, among others) Then you sail through wooded valleys, on the banks you see striking rock formations. A nice break can be a walk to the “Rocks of Fairies” (Skalky skřítků).

    Mooring at one of the campsites in Radošov (r.km 158, including camping Na Špici)

    • Distance: 17 km
    • Overnight: one of the campsites in Radošov (including camping Na Špici, but there are also other campsites options).
  • Day 3: Easy paddling from Radošov to Perštejn

    On the last day you will encounter many gentle rapids and the paddling is automatic. You moor in the town of Perštejn, drop off canoes at guesthouse Betty (r.km 139) and possibly camp there.

    • Distance: 19 km
    • Overnight: none

* The rivers in Czechia are mapped using so-called "mileage". The river ends at mileage 0 and so you count upstream towards the source of the river. The kilometers are indicated on the map as r.km. Say for the sake of convenience: river kilometers.

Waanzinnig leuk!

canoeing
Thursday, January 1, 1970
★★★★★
“ 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 🙂”

Thursday, January 1, 1970
★★★★☆
“ 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.”
