Rafting on the lower Bityug

The Bityug in the lower reaches is very beautiful and diverse. The river sometimes narrows to several meters, then spreads out in wide "ples". There are small sandy beaches along the route.

Bityug winds through flowering meadows, dives into oak groves, and in the last third of the route pine plantations approach the water. From time to time, chalk mountains rise above the water. On the slopes of the mountains, the feather grass is silvered in waves. The water in the river is clean and transparent. Pike or perch can be caught in pits or under driftwood. There are not too many tourists on the Lower Bityug. The route is ideal for kayaking, swimming, and outdoor activities.
