Conditions: nice countryside, many stones and steps with rollers in river
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.

Jana Pádličková	1	jízda ve vodnaté laguně u Brates	ZW, WW I	22.8.23	packraft
Vodočet:			Popis: Jízda v krásné,vodnaté laguně na packraftu s kanoistickým pádem.

Ivis	2	2x (Brates, konec, za pritokem Ata - ke kaskade ww4)	ZW, WW I, WW II	22.8.23	packraft
Vodočet:			Popis: Dost náročná řeka, velké kameny, slušný spad. Horská řeka v relativně nízké nadm. výšce 500 m n.m. Bylo malo vody, tak nakonec 2x takový krátký úsek s luxusním přístupem k vode (což zde bylo málokde), začátek taková laguna s velmi mirne tekoucí vodou, pak takové velmi hezke technické esicko kolem velkých balvanů a potom ww1 až ke kaskade ww4. A zpátky k silnici lehce nelegálně pres oplocenou louku s ostnatým drátem. Naštěstí branka byla jen fiktivne zamčena drátem. Promenliva šířka 6-15 m, na zuzenych místech i jen 2 m.
