eKajaki.pl • Skotawa • a wild river • a survival trip, single kayaks only
A kayaking trip on the Skotawa from Jamrzyno to Dębnica Kaszubska (16 km) is a raw, technical and demanding adventure – one of the wildest and most inaccessible sections in Pomerania. Only for seasoned paddlers, in single kayaks.
Don't look for comforts or landings with hot tea here. If you have many log jams behind you and like rivers you have to conquer, not just paddle along – the Skotawa is your river.
| Type of kayak | Price per person |

| Single touring kayak (Prijon) more control and independence |

| Single whitewater kayak the most manoeuvrable, ideal for log jams |

This is the essence of log-jam kayaking. Just past the mill in Jamrzyno the Skotawa draws you into its rhythm – full of fallen trees, half-submerged trunks, steep banks and tight, reed-grown meanders. A strong current, frequent stony rapids, a minimal channel width and zero conveniences. There's no trail here – there's a wild river you have to adapt to. From setting off in Jamrzyno you're on your own all the way to Dębnica Kaszubska.
The Skotawa flows through wild, forested terrain – dense forests, boggy alder carrs and narrow valleys. On many stretches the river meanders through the forest like a snaking path. You'll smell the earth and the leaves, see signs of beavers, wild boar and otters, and maybe even a white-tailed eagle taking off. When you stop fighting the next log jam for a moment, you'll notice how beautiful and primeval Pomerania can be.
Dozens of natural obstacles await on the route (fallen trees, stumps, branches underwater), tight passages requiring precision and a strong current forcing quick reactions. There's one spot with a mandatory portage (at the trout farm) – everything else is your decision: over the top, around or underneath. It's a route that tests technique and mental resilience.
No. It's a survival, log-jam route with no margin for error – only for people with real log-jam experience. For beginners we recommend „My First Time in a Kayak" or „The Gentle Łupawa".
There's one spot with a mandatory portage (at the trout farm). The remaining obstacles are cleared with technique – over the top, around or underneath – depending on the water level.
The narrow, winding channel and numerous log jams require maximum manoeuvrability. Only short single kayaks can clear them safely.
The wild, forested valley of the Skotawa, boggy alder carrs and an abundance of animals: signs of beavers, wild boar and otters, and with a bit of luck a white-tailed eagle.
