From Paderborn Sande, the Lippe River is navigable and immediately begins with several weirs that continue throughout the entire tour. Here, the Lippe is very pristine and densely vegetated, leading to narrow passages. These are only surpassed by three old weirs, which, depending on the water level and your own abilities, must either be navigated or portaged. Therefore, this section is not suitable for beginners. However, our experienced paddlers will find it particularly enjoyable. As is the case everywhere on the Lippe, access to the riverbanks is prohibited along the entire route! Breaks are permitted at the weirs and in Boke.
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.
