сплав по дністру в дністровському каньоніThe two-day rafting on the Dniester usually takes place on the section Nyzhniv – Budzyn - Dolyna, the total length of the route on water is approximately 40 kilometers. The river flows in zigzags washing the canyon's cliffs. There is a large number of streams and springs that bubble up at the foot of the cliffs, down the canyon, and form numerous dripping waterfalls. People call all of them "Girl’s tears", but the most popular of them is the one between the villages Dolyna and Nezvysko.

The specific microclimate of the Dniester Canyon is especially worth mentioning. Thanks to the ascending warm streams from the river, rain clouds dissolve in the atmosphere very quickly. The weather fronts from the west always get stopped by the canyon for one day. When rafting down the Dniester, the air temperature in the canyon is often a few degrees higher than outside the canyon.

Among other attractions for participants of the Dniester rafting is a descent with a rope to the cataraft from the Nyzhniv bridge. First it's scary, but then you realize that it is safe and start to enjoy it.

We can provide all things necessary for the camp on condition that you state it in the application in advance. Meals are provided in accordance with the arrangements, since the menu is drawn up according to participants’ preferences. The most popular dishes are Cossack kulish (with lard and meat), Uzbek plov, a variety of cereals with meat, pasta “po-flotski” with cheese sauces, borsch, mushroom soup, a variety of grilled salmon, vegetables, barbecue, steaks, etc. In addition, in Budzyn we often offer to taste ecological home-made dairy products: cheese, milk, sour cream. We remember about snacks as well, some of them are provided right on board.

- rubbish bags - for sealing things. You put things that should be dry in a rubbish bag, tie it up and put it in your bag. It is not advisable to put the whole bag in one rubbish bag since it might break while being transported
