RECOMMENDED ROUTES
Would you like to paddle the Berounka but are not sure where to start or finish? Wondering how many kilometres you can paddle in a day and whether a particular section is suitable for your group? Below you will find recommended one-day and multi-day trips. Most routes are designed to start and finish at our rental stations, where there is no charge for boat transport.
1 day on the river
Full-day trip (paddling time 6-7 hours)
Zvíkovec – Roztoky (20 km)
Start below the weir on the left bank at the U Varských campsite. You can get refreshments there, or about 13 km further on at the U Rozvědčíka pub.
Along the way you can visit the Skryje pools or the Ota Pavel Museum. There are 4 weirs, 2 of which can be paddled. Finish in Roztoky near Křivoklát on the left below the railway bridge. Both Křivoklát and Roztoky have a train station within easy walking distance.
Roztoky – Nižbor (19 km)
This route is particularly suitable for those who want to encounter as few weirs as possible. There is only one weir along the way, at Račice, which can be paddled. The first refreshments are available after about 9 km at Nový kemp Riviera in Zbečno. Finish in Nižbor above the weir on the right.
For beginners and families with children (paddling time 3-4 hours)
Skryje – Roztoky (14 km)
Start at the Ahoj campsite on the right bank. The first weir, Nezabudický mlýn, is often dry because of the power station, so you need to carry your boat around it. The weir in Roztoky cannot be paddled; carry your boat around it on the left bank.
Roztoky – Zbečno (8 km)
Finish your trip on the left bank at the Riviera campsite. This is an easy route with no weirs to negotiate.
2 days on the river
Chrást – Zvíkovec
Day 1: Chrást – Liblín (21 km)
Day 2: Liblín – Zvíkovec (22 km)
You can reach Chrást by train. From there it is about a 2,5 km walk to the U Dolanského mostu campsite. On the first day there are 7 weirs, most of which can be paddled.
At the U Přívozu campsite you can enjoy delicious oven-baked pizza. On the way to Liblín, the ruins of Libštejn Castle are visible from the river.
Between Liblín and Zvíkovec you will pass 5 weirs. The ruins of Krašov Castle are well worth a visit and can be reached from the river. From the top there are incredible views of the winding river. After about 13 km, we recommend stopping for refreshments at the U Mloka campsite. Finish above the weir on the left bank at the U Varských campsite. Our rental station is a few metres further downstream, level with the restaurant.
