The first stage - Lake Węgorzewo (Sulęczyno) - Soszyca, belongs to the difficult ones. In Sulęczyn there is the famous
"sulęczyna gutter". Less experienced canoeists should start rafting down Słupia behind the Sulęczyna gully. Słupia is
reminiscent of a mountain river: fast current, large falls to 4%, rocky bottom and thresholds, numerous obstacles in
the form of placed dams or felled trees. The stage from Sulęczyno to Gałęnia Mała is not without a reason in the list
of mountain canoe routes. After crossing the lake, Żukówko blunts Słupia. We reach the village of Bylina with a slow
current, where we are waiting for 30m. We are re-entering the canal which leads us to the oldest in Europe Struga
Power Plant (Soszyca) - producing electricity since 1925. We take the kayaks on the left side of the river and re-launch
in the riverbed. After less than an hour, we reach the town of Soszyce where we have a well-deserved rest. Here
we spend the night at the campsite near Słupia. The second day of the trip promises to be equally exciting. The river
becomes dull, the current is fast here. A dozen fallen trees and sharp turns will await us. There are numerous rapids
that give character to this segment. Under the bridge on the road Lębork-Bytów we encounter the water threshold.
Here, it is worth stopping for an unexpected rain or downpour, as you can take shelter here under a canopy
as well as light a campfire. After launching, many fallen trees await us, which can not always be overcome
while sitting in a canoe. When we reach the lake, we look out on the right side of a large wigwam which
marks the finish line of our trip.
