The trip begins on Lake Jasień – a body of water known for its beautiful location, forest surroundings and natural character. From the very first moments this place draws you into a holiday atmosphere. The quiet, the wide expanse of water and the surrounding greenery make the start of the trip not just the logistical beginning of the route, but a real entry into the world of calm Kashubian nature.
After leaving the lake, the Łupawa takes the form of a gentle, winding river, meandering through forests, meadows and secluded parts of the valley. It's a route where you can paddle without pressure, at your own pace, stop, soak up the views and enjoy contact with nature.
In many places the banks are gentle, and the bottom is most often sandy or gravelly, which makes stops, rest and getting out of the kayak easier. Thanks to this the Gentle Łupawa is a very good choice for families and beginner paddlers.
There are also light touches of variety along the route that add character to the trip. Two water drops, a few narrower passages and the river's natural bends mean the trip isn't boring, but still remains safe and friendly for less experienced participants.
The last stretch leads all the way to Kozin, where the trip ends near the characteristic ruins of an early-20th-century brick railway bridge. It's a very atmospheric end to a day on the water and one of the most recognisable points on this route.
