Active recreation is one of the best ways to relax and get rid of tensions experienced in everyday life. Fresh air and the company of friends or family members help to restore one’s physical and mental well being. In Lithuania, spring is the most favorable season for river canoeing. Most probably because it is both romantic and extreme, many enthusiasts find this kind of water sport enjoyable and attractive.
Lithuanian landscape with its big and small rivers allows tourists to enjoy canoe travel in almost all parts of the country. Traveling along the rivers of Lithuania (especially in springtime or after rainy periods) is a real challenge. Some of them – the Dūkšta for example – are even compared to mountain-rivers. Those who have toured along the Lithuanian rivers during a peak flood period describe them as extremely wild, swift, and vigorous. The huge roaring waves, the foaming water, the cascading riffles get your adrenalin pumping in a few seconds. Even experienced tourists admit it makes their heart beat stronger in the chest as they remember themselves in a canoe swiftly carried by the gushing stream… No doubt, canoeing holidays will help to regain fitness and good humour. Moreover, team canoeing is a valuable experience: shared troubles and extreme situations unite people and teach them to live and work together; meanwhile exciting moments and shared adventures turn to pleasant memories. River canoeing is a good way to relax: fresh air, beautiful surroundings, the song of the bird, and the sound of murmuring water will make you forget all the problems. As you come back to work after the holidays you will feel much more energetic. In addition to this, a canoeing tour is a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the Lithuanian history, culture, and nature. Many of the rivers flow through ancient villages and towns. In some places along the rivers winding their way through shadowy forests you can find pagan relics such as huge stones which were used for rituals in days of old. The ruins of stately homes, antique churches, wooden crosses, and chapels are also worth interest. Some rivers pass the Lithuanian national and regional parks known for their unique flora and fauna; some wind around mounds from which magnificent landscapes – hills, lakes and forests - can be observed. Speaking about canoeing facilities, tourists may take ad vantage of the services provided by canoe rent companies. They usually offer rent of canoes, rafts, kayaks and other tourist inventory such as life-jackets, tents, sleeping-bags, etc. Moreover, they can advise tourists which route to take. Another service provided is inventory delivery. If you can not transport the equipment yourself, the company will deliver it to the place where the tour is to be started and take it back in the end of the trip. Many companies also advertise secure car storage, which is very convenient because there will be no need to worry where to leave it safely. The prices for the services vary, but they are comparatively low. Various discounts are often applied, such as for children under 7, those who have already chosen the services of the company earlier, those who would like to rent more canoes, etc. In general, river canoeing is an enjoyable activity which can help to relieve stress and improve health. If you seek for adventure and would like to discover interesting things about other countries, canoeing holidays in Lithuania will not let you down!
