Believe it or not, Kraków is known for having some of the best whitewater kayaking facilities in Europe, and this artificially turbulent spot on the Vistula River just before Tyniec Abbey is one of them. With a 320 metre course (width 12-14m, depth 1.45m) at their disposal - and yours from April to October - Cracow Kayak Club offers professional instruction and all the equipment you'll need to have a crack at the river. Make arrangements in advance by calling the number provided. A jacuzzi, sauna and swimming pool is also available year-round in the nearby sports and recreation complex, and there's even a hotel on site.
