Canoe trails

Slicing the surface – canoe trails

Enjoy a voyage of discovery on water. Paddling is a great way to get out into the wild in a calm and peaceful way and experience
the wilderness right up close. Gliding along slowly in a canoe, silently cutting through the water, gives you a wonderful sense of freedom.

are plenty of islands to go ashore where you
can swim, sunbathe or simply enjoy nature.

Things to remember before canoeing

For you who are going on a short tour (up to two hours)

  • Follow a set route. It is good to decide the canoeing route before starting.
  • Clothing – it is best to wear as little as possible without actually starting to feel cold. Remember you
    get warm from canoeing.
  • A water bottle is always good to have, especially in summer and warm weather.
  • Use sunblock if it’s a sunny day.

For you who are going on a slightly longer tour (four hours – full day)

  • In addition to the above recommendations we also suggest that you take change of clothing and rain gear.
  • Food, fruit and snacks will be needed.
