CANOEING IN NOWA HUTA

Dłubnia River Rafting Experience Brings Wilderness Adventure to Nowa Huta

A guided rafting experience on the Dłubnia River is offering visitors an unexpected blend of adventure and natural beauty in the urban surroundings of Nowa Huta. Despite flowing through a developed area, the river retains a wild character with winding bends, narrow passages, and gentle rapids.

The journey showcases a rare side of Kraków’s outskirts, where participants glide through scenic waters surrounded by greenery and occasional glimpses of riverside wildlife. The experience highlights the contrast between the industrial history of Nowa Huta and its surprisingly natural river landscape.

The adventure begins at the Nowa Huta Lagoon, where participants gather for preparation and safety instructions. Lightweight canoes are transported to the riverbank, and a certified instructor provides a briefing along with essential safety guidance before the journey begins.

Each participant is equipped with a life vest and paddle to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. With logistics such as clothing transport handled separately, the experience allows guests to focus entirely on the river journey, combining outdoor activity with an immersive connection to nature.
