You’ll set off on your houseboat at a slow, gentle pace, giving you the opportunity to admire Poland’s treasures. Here, as elsewhere, you’ll be able to embrace all the joys of waterway cruising : cycling along the towpaths, discovering the Polish river heritage, improvised stop-offs to chat with farmers and other holidaymakers, going through the locks, … Your Polish waterway cruise will also provide you with a complete change of scenery, bringing you closer to the traditions and folklore of a country still unspoilt by mass tourism. A few days’ holiday with your family or several weeks with friends : it’s up to you to choose. Make the most of this region of Rybina to succumb to the charm of the Baltic coast.
Waterway tourism – a holiday full of feeling and emotion
Of course, no waterway cruise from Rybina would be complete without a visit to the regional capital : Danzig or Gdansk. You’ll marvel at a visit to this historic city, through which the Motlava River meanders. Take in the impressive Saint Mary’s Church and don’t forget to pause in the imposing Town Hall Square. You’ll be able to visit many other Polish heritage treasures during your cruise, choosing your preferred sites : the town of Drewnica with its famous arcaded houses or perhaps the Teutonic Fortress of Malbork, the largest brick castle in Europe.
