Experience the Spreewald in kayaks (canoes with a double-sided paddle) with a fine wooden hood and robust plastic body. Our boats are fun to operate, lay stable in the water, and provide a spacious interior.  They are directionally stable and allow for especially good steering.

Here in the Spreewald there are ideal conditions for boating: many small streams, no waves, no motorboats, and no wind. Our boats are ideal for these conditions. The proportions of the kayaks and their weight distribution result in good steering performance. The flat, broad bottoms of our boats glide calm and stable through the water.

The network of trails in the Spreewald allow for a variety of different tours, ranging from an hour's drive. It should be a maximum of 30 kilometers for you to make a day trip.  For families and recreational riders, it makes sense to take a relaxing trip of 15 to 20 kilometers. Of course, restaurant visits are possible by boat. Let us advise you.
