The boat tour with canoe in the Spreewald is one of the most popular ways to discover this unique landscape. The waterways are marked very well. We highly recommend you to use a water trail map.

Numerous animal and species of plants wait to be discovered by you. Dragon-flies will accompany your paddle tour and canoe tour. High trees and rare counterfeit bills line the channels and make seem fantastic to the landscape of the Spreewald. Perhaps you are lucky and will see an otter, heron or even the rare kingfisher.

Because of the partly considerable differences in altitude between the channels some sluices which are operated into self-service have to be overcome in case of your journey. Children and teenagers who, that way, improve their pocket-money will helpfully suit you aside from time to time. This has tradition and you should not consider it annoying.

Please pay attention at your water tour to a mutual consideration. You are not away alone. In principle, small boats have right of way! Handle nature carefully. Paper, plastic and other refuse do not belong in the landscape. Places only expelled to the shore leave use.

Here you find maps including the channels and all water walks and sluices, resting places and sights are marked. Our tip: You never start your tour without a map, because more than 500 kilometers paddling in the Spreewald altogether and channels at the disposal flows, so planned tours for 4 hours paddling are able to become 7 hours easily.
