Why choose this cruise?
- May Nature Explosion: May 28th is the time when nature on the canal is at its most vibrant. We’ll sail through the mighty Dzierżno Lock, which is a great experience in itself and a unique attraction for children.
- Fascinating Animal World: The end of May is a key time for the cormorant colony – the young are already in their nests, and the parents are constantly circling the canal with food. This is the best time to observe these birds and grey herons in their natural habitat.
- Stopover in Pławniowice: We’ve planned a break of approximately one hour. This is the perfect time for a stroll to the famous, fairytale Ballestrem Palace or a moment of relaxation in the shade of the historic park.
