Best time to visit
Early morning and late afternoon offer the best light and most bird activity, especially in spring and autumn. Summer evenings are pleasant but bring insect repellent.
Budget tips

About
クイックファクト: A slow, meandering river corridor threads through flat peatlands, where kingfishers flash neon blue and fishermen cast from willow-shaded banks. Old towpaths double as gravel bike routes, linking quiet hamlets and reed beds that shimmer with dragonflies on warm afternoons.
ハイライト: Paddle the oxbows at dawn and watch up to 2,000 migratory ducks and geese lift from the water in a single, thunderous wave, scattering reflections across the glassy surface. Local anglers point out a solitary mossy willow that hides a deep pool about 3 to 4 meters deep, prized for the big pike hauled up after long summer evenings.
Insider tips
- Wear waterproof shoes or sturdy boots, riverbanks can be muddy after rain.
- Bring binoculars and a field guide for kingfishers, grebes, and reed warblers.
- Photograph reflections at calm river bends around sunrise or sunset for the best light.
- Avoid Saturdays between 11:00 and 15:00 near the main riverside cafés to escape weekend crowds.
