Paddle Tour im Spreewald

PLAN

At the beginning of each canoe trip, your guide will familiarize you with the basic techniques of paddling. So he shows you the basic stroke forward and the bow stroke (a steering stroke). Your guide will also accompany you on the water, so that he can give you tips at any time, so that you can enjoy the uniqueness of the spree forest much better. In the afternoon we reach a campsite and we erect our tents. Then we go to dinner together. The next morning we do not paddle the same way back, but use other streams to come back to our home camp. Don't worry if you book the 4-day tour, we'll be going on different routes then on the two 2-days tours. The first two-day tour takes us around Burg and the second to Lübbenau with Lehde and Leipe.

Accommodation

Your guide will stay in a tent and will be happy to reserve a place on the campsite for you. We reserve the campsites which we use on the tour in advance. If you want to have a solid roof over your head, we will gladly assist you in finding a pension or hotel. However, you have to use your own vehicle here and ideally use a local taxi company. You'll find more information and details in the travel documents.

Catering

Everyone caters for themselves. We like to have breakfast in the morning together on the meadow by the water. Most campsites offer a bread service and some also have a small kiosk. For lunch we put together a delicious lunch package and stow it in our kayak or we make a rest at a takeaway stand. In the evening we treat ourselves to the luxury of eating out or catering for ourselves.
