Full description
Begin your tour at the picturesque Stadthafen Leipzig. After meeting your guide and receiving a thorough safety briefing, you’ll be off and paddling with confidence down the lush, tree-lined Karl-Heine-Canal. As you meander down the canal, pass the magnificent Baedeker Villa, owned by publishing magnates. Float by the Palmengartenwehr, a nearly 100-year-old flood control barrier. Continue through the city, drifting through Clara-Zetkin-Park, the largest in the city, before passing the Buntgarnwerke, one of the biggest industrial monuments in Germany. If you’re lucky, you may even pass by legendary Olympic kayaker Tina Dietze, who trains at the Olympic Training Center Leipzig. After cruising down the neighborhood streams that lead you back into the city, you’ll find yourself back at Stadthafen Leipzig, in perfect time for a drink or snack at the sprawling beach bar.

Everything was wonderful, but unfortunately sexism on the entire canal network... The tour was nice and the two guides were very nice - unfortunately there were two boats with drunk sexist men. The men attacked the female guide, wanted her to get in their boat, etc. Loud bawling, the young woman was embarrassed and embarrassed and smiled away at everything. I would have wished for stronger action here, that sexism and cheap come-ons would not take place. There was a Ballermann mood throughout the canal. Bachelor parties with inflatable porn dolls, drunk men gawping at every bikini, my daughter was called a "blonde bitch" to loud applause and laughter - and there you are in this boat, defenseless at the mercy of sexism. Unfortunately, these experiences overshadowed what was actually a great tour. It would be great if the organizer prepared his Gudides better here. You shouldn't just smile at that. It's extremely uncomfortable.

Hello, I can only recommend such a tour. My daughter (6) and I absolutely loved it. We have no experience in canoeing, but our guide explained everything and answered all our questions. And best of all, he swung the paddle alone 85% of the time. My arms burned after 10 minutes. Thank you again for that. We will definitely book this excursion again.
