• Conditions: traverses with 15 lakes, upper part has the many little steps and rapids. 3 rapids are in front of lake Mujerskoje where last is the most difficult. Lake is better ship at evening else there is big wind and rapids! River km 62 řeka - nice canyon but difficult enter - better to transfer, because help is min. 4 days long way
• When, who, how long, type of boat:
  The stated navigability limits are not a fixed limit. They are approximate recommendations for plastic canoes with a moderately experienced crew who can find a suitable stream even in lower water levels. The actual limit is always individual and depends on the type of boat, the experience of the paddler and the willingness to occasionally get out of the boat and drag it through shallower sections. Experienced paddlers often navigate rivers even in lower water levels below the navigability limit, while rafts, fiberglass boats or novice paddlers often need more water.

Vodočet:			Popis: Vodácká expedice na krásnou ruskou řeku. Nezapomenutelný týden na vodě. Potkalo nás jak krásné počasí tak i vítr, vlny a déšť na velkých jezerech. Krásné jsou peřeje Kiviristi a Ochta na dolním toku. Já + Janja a Honza N. + Hynek R. Více na webu
