The whole day tour runs through UNESCO listed town of Český Krumlov. You can see the whole of Český Krumlov from the water. We will stop at the pub on the embankment right below the castle, so there will be time to enjoy the atmosphere of the old town (with coffee or beer :). Once you leave the town, the remaining part offers numerous meanders running through a romantic valley lined by rocks. There are quite a lot of occasions to stop and have a drink or something to eat at river bistros. We will stop at least at one of them to have lunch. You will come across five weirs on the way – four of them in Český Krumlov and the fifth one right before the end of the tour in Zlatá Koruna, where the bus will pick us up in late afternoon. The length of the trip is 17 km on the river (approx. 3-4 hours). Beginners as well as experienced paddlers will enjoy any part of this romantic river. If we have time left, with those of you who want, we can continue along the river to the edge of České Budějovice (roughly another 2-3 hours).
