Itinerary description

Wióry Lake is a small artificial lake in Świętokrzyskie Region. It is quite wild (no watersport industry) and inhabited by a large number of various birds (notably white heron) and beavers. On an autumn day you meet only a couple of anglers.
Świślina is a small river, one of two suppliers of the lake, which continues after the dam. Not particularly beautiful (but not ugly either); perhaps more interesting with high water (we passed a couple of rapids, but at that water level they were very small).
Extremely long portage at the dam!

Waypoints

Start

Slip close to Bukówka village. Accessible by car (problematic without 4x4 when muddy)

Dam

Landing place for the portage is on the left (road visible). Very long portage (+500m) as to access the river on the other side of the dam you have to pass all the dam facilitities

Dam 2

End

Small power station marks the end of the track. Behind the bridge, there is a high threshold, inaccessible when the water is low (construction's edge above the water) but potentially very dangerous with high water! When the edge of the threshold is under the waterline, kayak might be 'sucked' into a waterfall behind! (and it looked really ugly down there). Not much sense in continuing behind the threshold, as there is virtually no water on the other side for quite a distance (we walked for about 500-600 meters along the 'river' there and it was nothing but a small stream. Perhaps accessible in early spring with high water. Landing on the left, in front of a cottage. Accessible by car. UWAGA: pod mostkiem widocznym na zdjęciu znajduje się próg spiętrzający wodę dla małej elektrowni wodnej. Próg jest niespływalny przy niskiej wodzie (krawędź wystaje ponad wodę), a przy wysokiej może być bardzo niebezpieczny, grozi "zassaniem" kajaka do jazu - wodospadu, który wygląda paskudnie! Przy kontynuacji spływu konieczna przenoska przed mostkiem, ale dalsze płynięcie jest chyba możliwe tylko przy bardzo wysokiej wodzie (Świślina po drugiej stronie progu zmienia się w maleńki strumyk pełen kamieni). Wygodne lądowanie po lewej przed mostkiem, na trawniku przed domkiem (mały pomost).
