The second International River Expedition (IREX 2010) is going to be a 5 day long canoe tour, which will take place along the River Körös in east Hungary.

This is a unique way to experience this beautiful river and is suitable to learn more about the connection between the river, the forestry and the game management on the Great Hungarian Plane.

We will paddle with canoes on the River Körös from the Romanian border. This river is calm flat water which is suitable for less experienced oarsmen.
