Accommodation

  • Wiesiółka Campsite - A campsite with access to sanitary facilities and a refrigerator.

Please bring your own tents!

We provide accommodation in a trusted location. We'll be staying at a campsite, so please bring your own tents.

We strive for our campsites to primarily offer peace and quiet, while also being diverse in character. We highly recommend swimming in the river – it's an unforgettable experience, especially for kids. If you plan to swim, please bring biodegradable soap to protect the environment.

The River

This picturesque river in the Wałcz Lakeland charms with its crystal-clear water and "mountainous character" featuring numerous rapids, ensuring constant engagement and excitement. Thanks to its Natura 2000 status, the river is home to beavers, otters, and kingfishers, offering unique encounters with wildlife. Despite its moderate difficulty, the river is completely safe for beginners. Short stages (8-14 km) are perfectly suited to children's energy levels, and natural obstacles are easy to overcome or require short portages with our assistance. Along the route, additional attractions await, such as intriguing bunkers from the Pomeranian Wall or charming sandy banks

Why Should You Be There?

Participating in a Tato.Net organized kayak trip isn't just an active vacation; it's a mini-survival expedition for fathers and children. It's a time to talk without haste, away from daily responsibilities, school, and work. It's a chance to minimize contact with civilization, building a stronger bond between child and father through challenges, physical effort, active rest, and undertaking new tasks together. This includes paddling, launching kayaks, setting up tents, taking watches, and enjoying meals on the grass and by the campfire.

Tato.Net kayak trips are a popular form of active recreation for families and groups. The routes are varied and adapted to different experience levels.
