By Kayak from the Alps to the Mediterranean Sea

800 kilometres down the Rhone in Switzerland and France!

On 30 June 2018, Zdeněk Lyčka arrived in the Swiss village of Bitsch and began paddling down the Rhone in his kayak. It was about 30 kilometres below its source in the Alps. After sixteen days and 800 kilometres of hard paddling in beautiful sunny weather, or in storms and cloud breaks, he landed in the French town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Along the way, he crossed countless wild rapids, dragged his kayak over almost 30 weirs, locks and dams, but got to know many historical and cultural monuments of South-Eastern France, too. After the Vltava, Elbe, Danube and Oder, it was Lyčka’s wildest water experience. Don’t miss his authentic narration!
