What do we usually expect from a weekend? Almost everybody is sure to answer that a weekend is a getaway, or a short period to get away from it all and to devote all the free time to leisure and entertainment. It can be a romantic weekend getaway for the  two of you, when you exist only for each other and when you are lost for the rest of the world. But there are moments when it is absolutely necessary to do something special with the bursting energy and you understand perfectly well that work is not what you need. In such a situation an active getaway weekend can become one of the best options. Nothing is impossible!
The simplest opportunity is a bicycle trip. If you have the equipment, you can easily ride somewhere to the remote part of the countryside and explore the hidden paths there, enjoying several bonuses at a time: you body is active and exercising, you are appreciating the beautiful sceneries and breathing fresh air. Small stops for a snack or a substantial lunch in the fields - all of it seems to be full of romance and healthiness.
Mount bikes can also make your hill rides during your getaway weekend really joyful and food that you can by directly from the farmers will  certainly add to  the countryside charm. Riding your bike through the meadows, along the river banks or sea shores is a wonderful experience, a perfect chance to immerse in nature and forget the urban life problems and concerns. Besides, you can stop in some lovely setting to have a rest and enjoy the allure of nature.
As an option, you can take a kayak tour on the rivers that a tour operator will offer. Your getaway weekend will turn out successful, that's no doubt! Stunning views, calm waters and an opportunity to watch wildlife being almost in its heart will certainly contribute to your mood and the aura of the whole getaway weekend. The operators usually arrange  kayak tours so as participants have an opportunity to take a swim (very often at a lot of different spots that are specially arranged), enjoy a gourmet lunch, and if the weather agrees permits, to sunbathe.
If you take such a tour during the spawning season, you will have a chance to see fish running up the river. Paddling the flat water of a lake is another opportunity for kayakers. All the advantages will come along with the company of new friends and the beautiful scenery. After paddling during the day, you can stop in the middle of the lake to enjoy the magnificent view of the sun drowning in the water. Adventurous, romantic and challenging, isn't it?
If you are still in doubt that  an active getaway weekend is what you really need, then work out your own getaway! It can merely be a  visit-tour, during which you will meet your friends or relatives. You can make fun of going visiting, while at first glance there is nothing unusual in getting to some place. But imagine that a party is arrange on the river side somewhere faraway from town. How are you expected to arrive? By car of course. And what do you do? Appear in a boat. This will for sure determine the mood of the party making the event full of fun and amusement.
 The purpose of weekend getaways is to leave you rested body and soul. All people are different so it is up to you to arrange you weekend getaway and decide what it will be like. The main thing - satisfy your need and wants and enjoy time!
