Kayaking on the Resseta – Zhizdra River

The Resset is an amazingly beautiful forest river. It is narrow, with a winding riverbed and a calm current. The water is clear, reddish-tea shade. The shores are covered with beautiful pine or mixed forest. There are many convenient parking lots and sandy beaches on the bends of the river. We will spend the night in tents in picturesque places.
