The most popular section of the Wda canoe trail, a multi-day paddle from Lipusz to Tleń through Wdzydze Landscape Park and the Tuchola Forest.
The Wda canoe trail runs about 195-200 km from Lake Wieckie to Świecie, crossing the Wdzydze and Wda landscape parks and the Tuchola Forest in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. The most popular and easiest section, from Lipusz to Tleń, takes about seven days. The first stretch to Lipusz is narrow and shallow, with towing and portages, and the course toward Wdzydze is calm and suited to family trips. Several operators in Lipusz and Wdzydze hire equipment and organise transport.
