Canoe trips are at your own risk!
This canoe tour is also suitable for families and beginners. We are happy to assist you along these stretches, but you won't encounter any difficult obstacles. Instead, you'll enjoy scenic, restored sections of the river. With luck, you might even spot the wild horses. The entire route takes place within a nature reserve, so access to the riverbanks is prohibited. Please follow the instructions; we will inform you of rest stops. Overnight camping at Gasthof Lange in Benninghausen is recommended on this tour. Please register for camping in advance. The tour includes canoe instruction, boat equipment with paddles, life jackets, and dry bags. You will need to bring your own tent and sleeping bags. We recommend leaving your equipment in Benninghausen before the canoe tour. This way, you don't have to carry everything in the boats, and your belongings won't get wet in case of capsizing.

Bad weather There is no such thing as bad clothing. 🙂
We outdoor activity providers are often asked, "...and what if it rains?" The answer is quite simple: We paddle, of course, because rain is a part of nature and perfectly acceptable in summer. Even thunderstorms don't necessarily mean we have to cancel the tour, as experience shows that thunderstorms usually develop in the late afternoon, when our tours are typically over. Lightning and thunder also pass quickly, and often it's enough to simply wait half an hour. Of course, there are times when a tour can't take place, but we don't cancel it three days in advance. Instead, we make the decision on-site, once the weather forecast is reasonably clear.
Outdoor events mean that you have to be prepared for all kinds of weather. And so on. important such as appropriate clothing, is sunscreen. This is often forgotten, yet it is needed much more often than a rain jacket.
