With considerable effort, the banks of the Lippe River between Lippstadt and Benninghausen have been restored to their original state. You'll paddle through a magnificent river landscape, home to numerous animals both above and below the water. You'll make many wonderful discoveries and, with luck, even spot the wild horses. This tour offers a true nature experience. Therefore, we ask for your utmost consideration and strict adherence to the ban on entering the riverbanks. At the end of your canoe trip, two restaurants invite you to relax and enjoy the scenery. There's also a picnic area at the observation tower in Benninghausen.
The barbecue area is located directly on the Lippe River and is only a 2-minute walk from the Benninghausen canoe landing. Use of the barbecue hut on the Lippe is only possible with prior registration.
The barbecue hut has the following equipment:
- 4 tables
- 8 benches
- Toilet in the immediate vicinity

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.
