Kayaking in Jūra

One of the most beautiful rivers in Žemaitija, the Jūra winds through the picturesque surroundings of the region. In this Nemunas tributary, a surprise awaits you around every bend. The river is full of boulders, rapids, and thresholds. It features both calmer, wider sections where you can paddle lazily forward, and rocky rapids where controlling the kayak will require some skill and concentration.

However, the biggest adventure that Jūra offers is, without a doubt, the opportunity to experience its beauty. In the quiet moments of observing the outcrops scattered along its banks, floating under hanging bridges, or admiring the forested landscapes, you'll feel the deep joy of escaping civilization. Besides, the Jūra and its surroundings are full of wildlife. Don't be surprised if you encounter a rare bird or even a beaver.

The best route for a kayak journey on the Jūra begins in Vidžiaugai village and winds 16 km until reaching the town of Pajūris. This is an ideal distance to have plenty of time to admire nature, sweat a little while wrestling with natural elements, and still not get too tired. After finishing your trip, you'll find a recreational area with comfortable resting places, sports grounds, and a pleasant beach.
