Tršnice - Loket
This calmer route will certainly delight paddlers who prefer well-being, peace, and romance on the river. The length of the route is 44 km and the difficulty is rated as ZWC, which is a gently flowing river. We recommend arriving on the eve of your cruise and staying overnight at our campsite in Kynšperk nad Ohří, where we offer pleasant camping, parking, hot showers, and refreshments. The next morning you can leave your tents set up at the campsite and take the train to Tršnice, where we will issue boats between 9 and 11 am. The clean river with lots of aquatic plants meanders quietly through meadows to Kynšperk nad Ohří, where the water is held back by the local weir. You will sail to the island, where an arrow shows you to sail into the left arm, which is adapted as a channel for paddlers. Before the channel flows back into the river, you have our campsite on both the left and right sides. Another camping option is in Šabina. From Kynšperk nad Ohří, the valley is already wooded and narrower. Along the gently flowing river with small rapids and weirs in Dasnice and Šabina, you will reach the dangerous weir at Hlavno – Černý Mlýn, which is descended through the boat chute on the left. Then begins a regulated channel through which the river flows faster to Sokolov. On the left before the mouth of the Svatava River, you will see our boathouse and Dronte campsite, where you can get refreshments. Before Královské Poříčí there is a stone sloping weir, which you can easily carry over on the left. If there is enough water and you can enter exactly, it is possible to ride it down. Getting stuck between stones in the weir can be dangerous, however. The romantic valley before Loket ends with a step that can be easily ridden down on the left part, or carried over on the right. Loket Castle is already welcoming you in the distance. On the right, notice the nice natural amphitheater and behind the bend you will pass under a bridge and land on the right bank above the weir, which you carry over. Riding down the fish pass is forbidden and dangerous. In a moment follows another weir, which can be ridden down or slid down completely on the right or carried over on the right along the road, which is more difficult, however. At the following road bridge, stop on the right bank and return the boats at our Boat Rental branch in Loket at river km 190.9 between 5 and 7 pm.

Loket - Vojkovice
This cruise is 40 km long, the difficulty level is WWI, the river flows through numerous rapids with large boulders, which, however, can be handled even by a slightly experienced paddler. We issue boats at the last road bridge at the Dronte boat rental in Loket at river km 190.9 between 9 and 11 am. Shortly below Loket, the first stones and rapids appear in the river and the river carries you through the beautiful wooded valley of the Slavkovský Forest PLA to the footbridge at Svatošské Rocks, where it is worth stopping, exploring the rock city, or refreshing yourself at the Jan Svatoš boaters' pub on the right bank. Further on, the river slows down and Karlovy Vary welcomes you. After the first road bridge, a bit of paddling awaits you to the Tuhnice weir. This former killer has been rebuilt into a peaceful lamb. You will find the chute near the left bank, it is equipped with plastic brushes so that fish can use it on their journey. The best way to get to the chute is to turn into the left arm before the island, which is in front of the weir, and sail straight to where you need to be. In Karlovy Vary you will also cross the U Solivárny weir, which can be ridden completely on the left if the water level is sufficient, and a smaller step with a large hydraulic jump. Then you can look forward to nice rapids with large boulders and wooded surroundings, which will please romantics especially. The Hubertus training rapid can be managed by a moderately experienced paddler, but it is possible to carry it over on the left bank through a campsite with refreshments. In Dubina on the right bank, we recommend the excellent boathouse pub and campsite U Dvořáků where we also have a boat rental branch or you can end the cruise here. The following weir is usually ridden on the left. Further on, the river carries you to the dilapidated Kyselka spa, with the Mattoni spring and a lookout tower on Bučina. Numerous rapids are interspersed with the dangerous Radošov weir, which you should not ride under any circumstances, but carry over on the left bank. In Vojkovice at the campsite 300 meters after the bridge on the left, you return the boating equipment between 4 and 6 pm. Here it is possible to get refreshments at a stall or in a wine bar. You can take the train back to Karlovy Vary or to Chomutov.
