plutarit
Plutăritul este una din cele mai vechi îndeletniciri ale omului. Practicarea sa a început încă din preistorie, când au fost confecţionate acele bărci cunoscute de noi prin termenul de “monoxile”şi ale căror urme se pare că au fost descoperite şi pe teritoriul României, pe Someş şi pe Crişuri.
