Rest on the gums - what to do in the summer and autumn on the river

All in the affairs and concerns, I'm just now starting to write about your wonderful vacation on the gums. So, Desna - summer and autumn 2014. Why only the summer and fall, but where is the spring?

But the fact is that in the place where we usually stand campground, green meadows. And just in the spring there's almost impossible to get to a parking lot near the water, because all covered with small puddles flooded lakes. Dries these lakes until June (year on year is not necessary, and there before, but there is usually May not drive). Therefore, our rest on the gums from the end of June and beginning of July. The main thing is lucky with the weather and there was heavy rain, otherwise water meadows will not pass or worse - will not be released back.

Advice to those who want to relax on the river Desna: ride on the gums better on a machine with more or less high ground clearance (not necessarily a jeep, for example, we take trips to the gums Lada "penny"), although the weather is dry and there quietly passing low machine. But the slightest rain - and it is quite possible to get stuck. Therefore it is better to go to the gums on two or three machines - and more fun, and you can pull each other, if that (as "Kopek" pulled Geely - read the following article).

Benefits rest on the gums

1. Tent vacation - the most inexpensive of all, because they do not need to pay the rent. One need only take a tent (on hot days you can do even without a sleeping bag) and buy an inexpensive but roomy travel bag , which add up everything you need.
2. On the gums can relax not far from Kiev (within 60-100 km), which means that the travel does not need to spend a lot of money. In principle, to a parking lot can be reached by bus, but we trailering somehow more convenient.
3. Water in the gums - a clean and healthy: it has a lot of iodine, it instantly heals wounds, and wonderfully fine sand grinds the heel (no need of a scrub!).
4. On the gums - amazing nature and relatively few people. The perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday. As, however, and for alcoholic parties under the moon))))

Things to do on the gums:

Beach vacation

Desna - the perfect place for the perfect beach holiday: you can swim and sunbathe all day. If only lucky with the weather. The best time for a beach holiday on the gums - July and August.

Helpful tips and safety advice!  For those who can not swim, you should choose a place on the spit and do not look for depth - in the gums greatly over (more than on the Dnieper) and found underwater snags. That's why so I do not advise to go into the water, even in a small intoxication and in the dark. You also need to keep an eye on the children, so they do not swim into the depths. Swim Desna - simple, but only for those who kept steadily on the water flow and is not afraid. Therefore, if you do not believe in their super powers, no swims Desna dispute or under the influence of emotions! For a start, calculate where it will carry you over on the other side. Boating on the Desna, grab a life vest.

Fishing

Who is right in the endless debate, where the best fishing - on the gums or on the Dnieper unknown. Personally, I like the Desna - and the water is much cleaner and more comfortable seats. Good luck fishing on the gums is largely dependent on the time of year and even day of the week, weather, gear and place, not to mention just luck. And year on year is not necessary.

Last year, our fishing on the gums was not so hot, but in the 2014th every weekend we caught on big walleye and perch + white fish (bream, gustirki, chub and even 1 time got sabrefish). Autumn began to peck catfish (by the way, in the summer we did not catch any). For good fishing is desirable to have a boat and fish on the other side, where deserted. At the weekend, when on the coast hustle and bustle of holiday makers to catch big fish almost unreal.

Hiking in the woods 

All tent sites are located on the gums near forests or plantations, interspersed with fields and meadows. Wonderful air with the scent of meadow grasses, birch and oak groves, beautiful Christmas trees and an abundance of butterflies and dragonflies will make your summer unforgettable! Autumn forest near the gums become the best place to collect mushrooms, so that drops a good chance to combine fishing and mushroom picking.

Cycling 

If you bring your bike on the gums, your holiday will be even more intense and active! On the gums where the train there and what to see! You can go to the lake for carp (peck in any weather and at any bait, literally jumping out of the water!), You can go to watch the sunset meadow. On the bike is also convenient to travel to rural grocery store. Go on cycling near the gums better in late summer or early autumn, when not so hot, but you can still swim. By the way, this year (2014) we bathed in the gums until mid-September! Water in Desna in September was 18 degrees.

Meditation in nature 

Desna - one of the best places near Kiev meditation on nature. It has everything a chance to rest of city life and to make up your mind! Even if you stay in the big tent camp, enough to move on 500 metrov- and nobody will prevent you to enjoy nature in peace and quiet.
