Hi, on Saturday I went down the river Bečva with Renek and his wife Markéta. We didn't know each other before, but it worked. It was again a relaxed and trouble-free voyage.

We met in Hustopeče nad Bečvou in Štěrkáčí, where I left the car. Renek and Markéta took me to Lhotka nad Bečvou, where we started our voyage.
There was relatively little water. The 124 cm is probably the minimum water level, when it still makes sense. Even so, we sometimes rubbed the bottom of the day, and sometimes I had to get out and pull the boat a little. For some rapids, we had to carry boats because we would probably stay hanging on a rock.
All three of us had boats from Gumotex, me Pálava, Markéta Twist and Renek Swing. Their kayaks were significantly faster than my canoes, and I was quite late in filming. Nevertheless, they understood my hobby and were not angry with me.
Bečva is a very beautiful river, there was no trace of cyanide (river poisoning from 2020), life is slowly returning to the river. We saw schools of small fish. Unfortunately, we did not see any kingfishers.
We started the fire in the middle of the cruise on the gravel beach opposite the beautiful erosive shore. The lower sediment of the shore was an interesting mass that looked like a pile of greasy concrete. Renek said that as boys they called it cat soap (perhaps we remembered it correctly).
Markéta scratched the potatoes and I prepared a neck with slices of bacon. Renek found interesting fossils from the Mesozoic. I quote from the website of the Museum of the Wallachian Region: "Ichnofossils Spirographe, Cosmorhaphe (Fig. 8) and Helminthoid were found near Lhotka nad Bečvou and Choryně. o rollers 10-30 cm long with a diameter of 2 to 6 cm with a granular surface. "

After lunch I wanted to fly with the drone, but it started to blow hard and it looked like a storm. Later, the storm avoided us, so I flew briefly in the valley, where not so much was blowing.
In the afternoon we reached the finish line (Hustopeče nad Bečvou). We dried the boats, made coffee, and then I cut a Japanese (invasive plant) way to the car.
The rafting of the river Bečva was a success!
Equipment: Almost all shots are shot and edited on the iPhone 11 and sometimes supplemented with shots from the drone DJI mini 2 and GoPro Hero 8.

Canoe Gumotex Pálava:
The Pálava inflatable canoe will impress with its sporty appearance and excellent riding characteristics. Thanks to the extended fuselage, it offers a large space for luggage and the variability of seat installation, which with its width and horizontal attachment provide comfortable seating. When sailing in rapids, it is possible to kneel and use thigh straps. The canoe is suitable for tourist river descents of WW3 difficulty, as well as for a comfortable ride on the calm surface of dams and lakes. Canoe paddlers can not let Pálava go!

In general:
Take a virtual tour of the beautiful river in the Pálava canoe.
You can see beautiful meanders, fallen trees across the river, bank erosion, etc.
I live near the rivers Odra and Opava and I often go to them to relax. I found that while paddling in a canoe and watching the landscape, I would take a great rest and gain strength for the next few days.
Usually I start a fire by the river, make something or at least make coffee and sometimes sleep. It's such a boating bushcraft :)
I am a hiker and paddler who likes to take photos along the way and sometimes shoot something. Maybe it will be an inspiration for someone or he will look at places that are inaccessible to him. From a canoe, the perception of landscape and nature is completely different.
I'll be happy if you write me something. If I know, I'll be happy to answer.
