Rivers and routes

The catalogue has three layers: the river, the route and the operator. The river describes the waterway, the route is a specific stretch with a start, a finish and a duration, and the operator is whoever rents out that stretch.

Rivers

The river list shows the rivers where there is something to book this season. A river page has a description, a map, the routes and the operators working on that river.

We maintain the river descriptions and the shared maps. An operator edits their own routes, not the river page.

Routes

The route list is the main search tool for booking. You can filter routes by:

• region
• difficulty (from–to)
• length (from–to)
• operator

They can be sorted by length, difficulty or duration. Each page shows 10 routes.

A route page has a description, photos, instructions, the meeting point and a link to the calendar. Only published routes are shown in the public catalogue — travellers do not see drafts.

Difficulty

The difficulty rating is a scale used by operators and our catalogue, not the international whitewater (WW) classification. If you are paddling for the first time, choose a lower difficulty and a calmer river. In spring the same river can be an entirely different one, so it is worth checking the water level.

Locations

If you are searching by municipality or ethnographic region, start from locations. There you will find counties, municipalities and regions along with the rivers and routes in each area.

Water level

Before the weekend it is worth checking the water level. Station readings help you judge whether a river currently suits your experience — especially in spring, when the current and obstacles change quickly.

Operators

The operator catalogue lists the operators themselves rather than routes. That is useful when you already know who you want to paddle with.
