Easy, beautiful, relaxing swimming on the Žiema River. The river flows through sand dunes, so the water is very clear. The coasts are mostly wild, and there are a few villages. There are mostly pine forests on the coasts. Lots of cozy furnished and wild stops. The start of the swim is at the meeting point (our kayak rental point), so you can arrive at a convenient time for you. Most swimmers start swimming at 10am. until 12 o’clock Swimming distance - 18 km. The sailing duration with stops is about 5 hours. After the swim, quick transport back with our transport.
