The Obra River as a Qualified Tourist Path
Michał Preisler
Abstract
In recent years canoeing tourism has become an immensely popular leisure activity. At the same time, practical exercises have become a significant part of tourism studies. In order to combine elements of sightseeing with qualified tourism which does not involve considerable financial outlays I undertook the organization of canoe trips on the Obra river. The following factors helped me to make this decision: - easy access to river routes, - the region's cultural appeal and tourist attractions, - interesting hydrographic network of the Obra's river basin, - possibility for organizing safe canoe courses and trainings. The main aim of this article is to present a wide range of possibilities for using the Obra's river routes for qualified tourism and sightseeing and to enable people, who decide to go on a canoe trip, to choose those sections of the river routes which they may find most convenient. The paper describes in particular the Obra's river basin accessible to canoe trips' enthusiasts in Środkowe Nadodrze, Wielkopolska and Ziemia Lubuska. Another aim of this paper was to present a wide range of possibilities for using the Obra's river routes to educate tourist staff on qualified tourism, sightseeing and recreation. The descriptions of canoe routes include the most important information on the accessibility of routes and their landscape values. The information included in these descriptions comes from the author's first hand canoeing experience.(original abstract)Keywords:
