You may see boat trackers, the only way for a boat to travel on the river when it gets stuck on a sandbar.  It is backbreaking work that has remained unchanged for centuries.  This is impressive but you may feel a bit guilty.  These boat trackers, who keep the old tradition alive, are local farmers who do this to earn some extra money and supplement their income.
