The project is a human powered adventure by foot, packraft and kayak between the Highest summit of Poland ( Mount Rysy , 2499m) to the Baltic sea in May 2012 . The lowest point is at -1,8m and called raczki elbląskie, which I hope to visit as well.
The journey will start by climbing Mount cracks, then hike the North-west across the Tatras mountains are Mt Baranja Mountain (1220m), find the source of the Vistula (the longest river of Poland) and follow it to the sea. During the 4-5 weeks of the expedition I will also visit cultural places and famous cities along the way.
A documentary film about the journey to highlight the beauty of Poland, the cultural Aspects and the people should be made. I hope to inspire and show also polluted waters to inspire preservation of the waterbodies and wildlife of the country. An educational program could use the expedition as edutainment and inspiration for the younger ones that understand and act for the preservation of our most important resource: water.

Why May?
May or May-June is the spring time and it Means vivid colors, not as much rain as in the summer and still some snow in the mountains. The flow of the Vistula is about 30% more in May compared this August due to the melting snow. It will allow me to more enjoy the scenic views than paddling hard. Also temperatures are not too hot, Which is good to avoid too much sweating due to the effort.

Why May?
During the spring in May and June landscape is already vibrant colors. There are not too heavy rains which could be expected in the summer and still is snow in the mountains. By melting snow in the Vistula River currents are stronger by 30% in May than in August which will allow me to not only focus on paddling but soak up the beauty of nature. Also, the air temperature (still too high) promotes efforts.
