For all who have courage

In the 14th century in the village of Sokoľ there was a toll barrier for rafts floating on the Hornád. During socialism there were generous donations for physical education entities near big factories as well as for departments of physical education at universities. Canoeing experienced a boom period. For certain events more buses at the same time were set out. With the new age this tradition disappeared.

Until recently it was very difficult to lend a boat or raft a river in the Kosice region; unless one had a couple of friends – paddlers who enabled him or her both of the above mentioned. The situation is changing; the first travel agency has come with eagerness to be a “water-carrier”. Everybody can find something different in the water –a passion to discover, adventure, time spent at places not reached otherwise, views not available in other ways, floating just because; in other words, dynamic relaxation during effortless activities. There are both very safe and dangerous rivers. The one who gets caught by it can proceed according to their abilities to white-water rivers.

Regardless of the rivers we, the paddlers of the region, have paddled in the world, we always enjoy returning back to the river where we learned the basics. This is the place to start also for you; a bit of courage will suffice. If you are interested, make a call, write an email and come. Come even if none of your friends wants to join you. We will understand you. Take the courage!
