Welcome
Prof. Vašek Hlaváč and CMP PhD students Jiří Borovec and Martin Bresler would like to invite you to a traditional canoe trip from Friday May 25 to Sunday May 27, 2012. We will hire a bus which probably will stay with us all the time. We will provide canoes, paddles, barrels and life vests which will be delivered to the place by Tydra company. We will camp overnight at the camp sites. You should bring your own tent and camping gear. Also there will be a small kiosk.
You are also welcome to bring your partners and children!
When?
The date is set on 25-27 of May 2012
Where?
Morava River
Morava is a beautiful river not overcrowded by tourists and boaters. It is beautiful on the one hand, but on the other hand it implies less developed services. At our meeting place there is a real camping place with full service, but along the river we will use emergency camps. We will camp near restaurants or kiosks etc. Any supplies we need can be provided by our bus which will stay with us all the time.
If you want more information about the river you can check Wikipedia or the kilometrage.
