This is little more than a stream.  But with 3.4 km canoeing across the lake and down the Brda to the campsite for www.Kajaki.pl in Sworgacie it makes a lovely easy day trip.

0.0  km – Launch left bank below the weir at Chocinski Mlyn bridge, the site of an old mill.  Mlyn means mill.  

Take a moment to see the memorial to a 25-year-old man presumably killed in a road accident here.  The Poles frequently put up roadside memorials to accident victims, but they prefer plaques, oil lamps and candles to the English bunch of flowers.  They are very moving.
