Gytis, river: Kamenice, Giniotis, 3/22/2011 7:05 PM
Hello,

I together with my friends from Lithuania would like to kayak down the Kamenice brook this spring. Will the water level be suitable in beginning of May? Or it depends on josef dul dam opening? Does all river depends on emit from dam or only upper part of it? If got it right the dam will be open on 16-17 of april. Are these the only dates that Kamenice is worth descending?

thanks for any info,

Hi Gytis,
The best time for Kamenice is March or April, look at this:

http://rivers.raft.cz/cechy/ka...
("Statistika sjízdných dnů v měsíci")

becouse of snow melting. May is IMHO too late, especially this year.

Here is the water level (online):

Quite nice minimum is 8m3/s

On 16-17 of April, lots of contests will be there, but free descending is possible, water level will be 12 m3/s thanks to Josefuv Důl dam.

If you want some wildwater at the begining of May, the only certainity is artifical slalom course, for example on the river Trnávka (7-8.5. opened for the public)? 600m of WW4
