Family-friendly kayaking routes near to Warsaw – interesting recommendations

The beginning of the kayaking season is getting closer, it is worth thinking about starting an adventure with this more and more popular sport, as its  a great way to spend the weekend. In the vicinity of Warsaw, we have an increasing choice and variety of potential routes, and the rivers themselves, which often have not been suitable for kayaking a few years ago, but recently significantly improved the quality of the water. Also infrastructure has improved a lot during past years.

Liwiec river – clean, safe and with attractions on the way – sandy beaches included

Number 1 and our favorite to start the adventure with a canoe is Liwiec. We mainly recommend the rafting of the middle section from  city of Wyszków  to the Liw Castle. Liwiec is a pure river that does not template problems even a novice canoeing, in the summer the state of water on some sections may be unbelievable, so it is worth trying to spring flow. Kayaking on Liwiec also has the advantage that by the way we can visit interesting places like the Liw castle there is also viewpoint of Sowia Góra . This is one of the most beautiful natural views in the proximity of Warsaw. From Sowia Góra You can admire a Liwiec river valley. As for the kayaking rental, we can recommend Liwiec.com and Kajaki-liwiec.pl

This last place also offers accommodation and can be a base for longer trips. It is also worth mentioning the przystańliwiec.pl, the owner organizes from time to time interesting „free” kayaking with the purpose to clean the river. Liwiec river is also famous from its clean and cute sandy beaches. They are not big but perfect for the break or even a little swim. In the region, there is also an extremely interesting museum of wooden architecture – Nowa Sucha Skansen. Seems a little bit abandoned but is a jewel of wooden architecture of past times.

Pilica river another jewel – Inowłodz castle and Warka are the two interesting spots to visit

Number 2 proposal  is Pilica, here we have two possibilities for beginners/families kayaking lovers. One of them is a short trip from Domaniewice to a Nowe Miasto on Pilica. The river on this part is quite a tile, offers beautiful Mazovian views, especially in the area of ​​the village of Łęgonice / Łęgonice Małe, as well as in front of the Nowe Miasto on the Pilica. Kayaking from Domaniewice can be linked to visiting the attractions of Tomaszów region or / and participation in special events organized from time to time on the  Inowłodz castle.

The second option is, for example, a trip from Budy Michałowskie to Warka, in this case the offer of the rental companies is much more rich, and the possibility of spending time in Warka tempts. In Warka where we can end our kayaking, there is an interesting camping spot Przystań Winiary where we can rest or even overnight, just by the river.

However, the first option seems touristically more interesting. As for Rentals in Domaniemice, there is a Safari canoe rental at our disposal.

Kayaking on Bzura river – comfortable and easy-going proposal just outside Warsaw

Number 3 Bzura – Until recently, the river quite contaminated, today water purity is more than sufficient. The advantage is the lack of large obstacles and the need to transfer kayaks. The only, slightly more difficult fragment, this one behind Sochaczew. An ideal easy flow will be proposed by MotoPrzystań Plecewice, starting in front of Sochaczew and ending after 2 hours in the MotoPrzystan. We can also start in Kozłów this stage is a little longer, but also not very demanding. Motoprzystań also offers accommodation and the ability to continue the flow of the next day. There is a possibility of practice and kayaking from / to Motoprzystań on short distance as the river flow is not strong at all. For small children there is also the small sandy beach where they can play.

On Bzura river, we can also swim in the vicinity of Łowicz, the offer of łowickie kajaki gives you a choice of simple and undemarkable routes in its area, we recommend reading this proposal. The advantage of Łowicz is the opportunity to reach the city with  the suburban railway from Warsaw.

Bug river – much more wider river

The number 4 Bug – this is another from the rivers, on which starting kayaking near Warsaw is recommended. Fragments behind the Brok city are strongly meandering, we are dealing here with the largest Meander of the Bug so-called a big wheel, we recommend a rental with a U Kaflika, which may be our starting point for a few days flow. At the beginning, a dozen kilometer fragment of Tuchlin – Brańszczyk will be the best.

 

There is also possibility to organize kayaking which ends at Kuligów, there We can spend a day. There is opportunity to swim here. And as a plus a wooden architecture Skansen to visit. Ideally when they organize a special historical event.

Wieprz River – Kośmin new spot for kayaking lovers in the vicinity of Warsaw

Number 5 Wieprz – from Baranów to Kośmin, the development of kayaking tourism in this region is in the initial stage of development, but the region has interesting attractions for tourists and the river itself is not too difficult. In Kośmin, a tourist base is created and the headquarters of the local tourism promoting group of green ring is also located there. The brand new camping co-financed by the so-called Swiss program was inaugurated in Kośmin a few years ago. The first family kayaking events take place usually during Long May weekend, it is really worth taking advantage of this new option on the market. You can also incorporate the rafting of a hook in the visiting Puławy / Kazimierz / vineyards or rose fields near Końskowola.

Numer 6 WKRA river  – clean and not deep – kayaking just for families

Wkra is the last but not least proposal. Its clean waters and a lot of sandy beaches are perfect for families. Kayaking here is easy, moreover there is also an opportunity to do a little rafting by renting a pontoon. This gives a lot for fun. The company offering this kind of service is Everal.

While kayaking on Wkra You can also enjoy a nice peculiar river restaurant. Bar Koza is designed to serve people kayaking on Wkra river. Ending kayaking in Pomiechówek gives us opportunity to explore and enjoy attractions for children in this tiny city. There is a municipal park with a lot of attractions here.
