V prvom rade vas clanok je moc uzitocny. Chcem sa spytat, ci vynaska na Devine je v pohode. Mam nafukovaci kajak a idem s 8 rocnym synom. Na google maps vidim ze su tam kamene? Dakujem.

Ked som tam bol naposledy, boli tam kamene a medzi nimi cosi ako chodnicky. Ale nie je to vysoke. Su tam miesta, kde chodia rybari. Len sa neplavte do sutoku s Dunajom. Tam sa dalej od brehu tvoria neprijemne viry. Rasej koncite pre sutokom.
