Łupawa is considered one of the most difficult kayaking routes in Po-norze. The river first flows through the interesting landscape of Lake Jasień, the largest in the Słupia Valley Landscape Park, then as a mountain stream through a deeply cut valley, breaks through moraine ranges, to disappear in the vast and shallow Lake Gardno, which it reaches by a flat coastal plain. Already in the Słowiński National Park, the Łupawa-Łebsko and Łebsko-Gardno canals connect the adjacent vast water areas. In the summer and fishing village of Rowy, the Baltic Sea absorbs the unruly, slightly salty Łupawa oxen, which are already in Gardno. The river, flowing quickly towards the sea, flows through picturesque forests and surroundings. In the upper and middle reaches, the trail flows "through a valley of a gorge character, cutting through the moraine ranges.

For an adventure with Łupawa you need to be well prepared, because although this trail is not very long, the theoretically assumed 4-6 days of hiking will not be enough for everyone. It is better to paddle this difficult, strenuous trail, especially on the gorge sections, without luggage, in single-person kayaks, additionally equipped with sprays. Tourist doubles will also cope, but it will require greater effort from their crews, and luggage must be carefully protected from getting wet, because dangers lurk at every step.
