Beautiful rocks are long, almost vertical, walls made of horizontal layers of slate or limestone. The channel of Sylva is very winding, and along its length the river changes its direction three times. Lots of rolls, shoals and pits. All this together makes it very interesting for water tourism and sports fishing. And fishing here is noble - pike, harius, perch and even trout are found in Sylva. The forests along the banks of the river are rich in berries and mushrooms.
