Hi, I left Ostrava with my friend Vítek on Friday afternoon, the navigation took us through Poland and by evening we were in the village of Nižná in Slovakia. We left the car at the church and went to the nearby Ostražica hill.
Translated by Google Translate:
Vítek had everything perfectly prepared, he even found a shelter to spend the night (Cottage under a cross in the castle). I didn't want to walk uphill through wet grass at all, but I have to admit it was worth it. There was a beautiful view from the top of the hill. Orava is a beautiful landscape.
For dinner we had steaks with green pepper. Unfortunately, it was so wet that we didn't even try the fire. The store only had packaged meat, so I had to take 1 kg. The portion was big, but it wasn't a problem for two guys.
In the morning we packed up, went down to the car and moved to the town of Tvrdošín. We inflated the boats by the river, had coffee and set off. There is no weir on the Orava river, the bed is relatively wide and there was enough water (130 cm, the minimum for swimming is 110 cm).
We were enjoying the beautiful nature when it started to rain. My friend made it under the bridge, I had to pull out the poncho on the boat. We waited under the bridge for a while, but the rain didn't stop. Vítek waited a while longer and I set sail, I wanted to pee madly.
I waited for Vítek a little further under a tree. It stopped raining in about an hour, but after a while it rained again, it alternated several times. Our shoes were completely wet and water splashed on my seat a few times, so I was quite cold. Vítek was in a similar situation.
During the cruise, we met a group of boaters from the Czech Republic. Around 16:00 we were at the Orava Castle. The scenery from the boat is always completely different, but the castles are even more interesting and beautiful from the surface of the river.
We planned to just have draft beer under the castle, but we needed to warm up, so we had garlic soup and gnocchi with brynza.
Vítek blew out the boats and I took the train back to Tvrdošín for our car. I was back within an hour. We got into the car and were back home late in the evening. The boat trip was successful again, we enjoyed it a lot.

Wikipedia and Orava Castle:
The Oravské hradné bradlo (part of the Oravská vrchovina), on which the Oravský hrad rises above the level of the Orava River and the village of Oravský Podzámok, has long been a fortified hillfort, protected from the north by a rock massif and from the south by a semicircular earthen rampart. The highest part of the castle is at a height of 112 meters above the level of the river Orava.
The castle hill was already inhabited in prehistoric times.
In the middle of the 13th century, a brick castle was probably built here on the site of a wooden castle, which is first mentioned in writing in 1267...

Gumotex Pálava canoe:
The Pálava inflatable canoe impresses with its sporty appearance and excellent driving characteristics. Thanks to the extended fuselage, it offers a large space for the placement of luggage and the variability of the installation of the seats, which, with their width and horizontal attachment, provide comfortable seating. When sailing in rapids it is possible to kneel and use thigh straps. The canoe is suitable both for tourist descents of rivers up to WW3 difficulty, and for a comfortable ride on the calm surface of dams and lakes. Canoeists can't let Pálava pass!
