Ahoj Discoverers!

I’d like to invite you to another relaxing canoeing trip on the golden Sázava.

This time, we will run the section from Čerčany to Týnec nad Sázavou.

Canoeing on the river Sázava is a very Czech experience you shouldn’t miss :)

The trip is suitable for people who haven't canoed before as long as they can swim. You should also be somewhat physically coordinated and have patience to learn a new motor skill!

I'm NOT a certified instructor but I have taught countless people the basics of canoeing.

DIFFICULTY: Easy to Medium
(depending on the water level on the day)
About 14 km / 9 miles. There are 4 weirs (2 runnable).

* A weir ('jez' in Czech) is a little dam regulating the flow of the river.

LOGISTICS
We will meet at 8:30 AM in front of the main ticket office at the Prague Main Railway Station.

The train journey takes about an hour.

We’ll be aiming to be back in Prague by 19:00. However, we will be as fast as the slowest member of our group and an unexpected delay is possible. This is a full-day event.

WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU
• Shoes to wear in water (sandals, or you can buy special shoes for walking in water)
• Wear clothes which dry fast (NOT jeans)
• Sunscreen
• Towel and maybe some spare clothes (in case your canoe capsizes)
• Swimwear
• Bottle of water and a small snack.
• Put all your staff to a small compact bag – we will put all our belongings into water-proof barrels and they are not very large.

You need to be prepared for a possibility of the boat flipping (capsizing). Keep your phone in a waterproof case and have glasses on a string while on the river!
