eKajaki.pl • Bukowina • a tributary of the Łupawa • a log-jam trip, single kayaks only
Extreme Bukowina – a difficult, log-jam kayaking trip on the Bukowina for the experienced (Siemirowice → Kozin)
A kayaking trip on the Bukowina from Siemirowice to Kozin (13 km) is everything that's thrilling in log-jam kayaking, served up in a nutshell: a fast current, numerous rapids, a stony bottom and a host of difficult log jams. A route exclusively for experienced paddlers, in single kayaks.
This river, unassuming at first, is excellent preparation and a prelude to the Łupawa, into which it flows. Supposedly not a mountain river – but in places that's exactly its character.

A river that doesn't let up
And just when it seems it's the end, that surely beyond the bend – it turns out the next tree appears right away, then another and again… The Bukowina makes you work in the kayak almost non-stop, rewarding technique and composure.
A prelude to the Łupawa

Who is this section of the Bukowina for?
- exclusively for experienced paddlers who enjoy log jams and technique,
- a fast current, numerous rapids and a stony bottom – full concentration,
- very numerous, hard-to-clear log jams – a river that doesn't let up,
- single kayaks only – maximum manoeuvrability and control,
- an excellent prelude before a Łupawa trip, into which the Bukowina flows.
Useful tips
Is this section for beginners?
No. It's a difficult, log-jam route of partly mountain character. Only experienced paddlers should use it. For beginners we recommend „My First Time in a Kayak" or „The Gentle Łupawa".
Why single kayaks only?
The numerous log jams, the narrow channel and the fast current require maximum manoeuvrability – only short single kayaks can clear them safely.
What to expect on the route?
A fast current and rapids, a stony bottom and very numerous log jams (fallen trees) cleared with technique – over the top, around or underneath.
Is it a good warm-up before the Łupawa?
Yes. The Bukowina flows into the Łupawa and is excellent preparation before its more difficult, extreme sections.
