’Kayaking through a wavy maze of flowers.’
At Beaugency the Loire kayaker encounters large patches of flowering River Water-crowfoot (Ranunculus fluitans; NL: Vlottende waterranonkel). Rooted in the riverbed, it produces strands of up to 6 meters in length, that are stretched out in the direction of the current. From june till august its white flowers form a splendid sight for paddlers. But mind you, you can get stuck in them as well!
