Bug
www.dzikierzeki-kajaki.pl, kozirad@wp.pl, (+48) 505-666-424
We organize trips on this river over a total length of over 400 kilometers, of which approximately 200 kilometers of the border Bug (Wola Uhruska-Gnojno), excluding the district in Terespol, and approximately 210 kilometers of the Bug flowing within Poland (Gnojno-Cupel) up to the mouth to Narew.
On the border section, despite the attractive beaches on both sides of the river, rest breaks and meals should always be taken on the western/left bank of the river. Going out to the eastern bank may result in arrest for illegally crossing the border and staying for some time with our neighbors (in the section bordering Ukraine and Belarus). Each trip must be reported to the appropriate units of our border guard (as a rental company, we handle the reports).
The main difficulties are tree branches sticking out of the water and shallow water, through which you sometimes have to push the kayak.
In the lower section, from Kuligów to the mouth of the Narew River, there are motorboats that cause waves.
The main advantage of this river is its wildness, naturalness and its character changing over the kilometers. However, apart from the undeniable beauty of nature that we can observe at our fingertips, there are many other attractions worth seeing along the rafting route.
- monastery of St. Onufry in Jabłeczna
- remains of a pre-war wooden crossing over the Bug near Jableczna (wooden piles driven into the river)
