On the stretch from Hörste to Lippstadt, after about 1.5 km, you'll encounter a slalom course that experienced paddlers will surely enjoy. Beginners should definitely get out and carefully inspect the section beforehand – even though almost everyone will ultimately decide to paddle through it. Those who prefer not to can portage their canoe. Otherwise, the tour is manageable for families and beginners. Along this route, you'll be treated to unobstructed views of the landscape with its varied, heavily vegetated banks. The passage through Lippstadt, with its narrow northern bypass channel, is particularly noteworthy and offers plenty of fun for beginners and families. A visit to the town center is a great option after this tour.
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.
