How should you choose an area?
On the Wel, the landscape park lists Lidzbark–Kurojady among the easier stages, through a wooded gorge and riverside meadows. Upstream, Podcibórz–Lidzbark is difficult: faster current, meanders and fallen trees make it a very different trip.
Before travelling to Wel at Lidzbark, ask the operator whether the confirmed meeting point is in Lidzbark or Cibórz. Also confirm parking, equipment collection and return arrangements.
