Whitewater difficulty scale

Seven grades from gentle flat water (ZW) to the limit of navigability (WW VI). In Vysočina, you will mainly encounter grades ZW up to WW II — these are mostly family-friendly recreational rivers.

Gentle whitewater (Zahmer Wildwasser)

Slow-flowing water without rapids or major obstacles. Suitable for complete beginners and families with children.

Beginners · children · families
I
WW I
Easy whitewater

Small rapids and waves, an easy-to-read route, no dangerous obstacles. Basic paddle strokes.

Lower intermediate · recreational paddlers
II
WW II
Moderately difficult

Regular rapids with waves and rocks, requiring active manoeuvring. The route remains clearly visible from the boat.

Experienced recreational · club paddlers
III
WW III
Severe

Large waves, holes and rocks. The route is not always obvious, scouting from the bank is recommended. Safety backup is required.

Advanced · trained
IV
WW IV
Very difficult

Powerful hydraulics, siphons, waterfalls. Always scout ahead, safety cover required (bank rescue, throw bag).

Expert · competitive
V
WW V
Extremely difficult

Extremely difficult rapids, waterfalls and complex routes. High risk of injury even for expert paddlers.

Experts only
VI
WW VI
Drivability threshold

Often considered unnavigable. A successful descent is extremely risky, and any mistake is life-threatening.

Extreme attempts
Safety first

Difficulty changes with flow — at high water levels, the grade often rises by one or even two levels. Always check current conditions (e.g. in our card above or on ČHMÚ HPPS) and do not overestimate your experience.

About the data and ratings
River flow source

Open-Meteo Flood API (GloFAS model from ECMWF / Copernicus) — daily flow value [m³/s] for any GPS point on a river. No API key, updated 1× daily. We compare the current value with the average of the last 7 days to calculate the trend (↑↓).

Paddling difficulty categories
  • Impassable — below the minimum (captures the bottom)
  • Low water — passable with caution
  • Ideal — recommended range
  • High water — for experienced users
  • Dangerous — flood risk
Verified statuses

For accurate real-time readings, we always recommend checking ČHMÚ HPPS (gauging stations) and river basin administrators’ websites — Povodí Vltavy and Povodí Moravy.
