Where to settle? Choosing accommodation
Tents
There are many "wild" tent camps on the banks of the river. This path is quite risky, especially for those who are going on vacation with children. As an alternative, consider local campsites where you can camp. Of course, this method is not free (unlike the wild one), but there is a medical center, drinking water, and security at the service of vacationers. After all, rest in the bosom of nature should not only bring joy, but also be safe.
Private housing
There are several villages on the banks of the river, whose residents are ready to receive tourists during the entire holiday season. The price of a home depends on financial capabilities and preferences: you can rent an inexpensive room, or you can also a comfortable house.
Cottage villages
The cost of a cottage is usually higher. But the package of services is different: parking for cars, TV, Internet… On the territory of the villages you can find shopping centers, restaurants with local and European cuisine, as well as a lot of entertainment.
