Paddling nature

Tips by the National Association of Canoeists

Canoeing is a varied and at the same time relaxing sport. It has the advantage that it can reduce stress caused by physical work, and ideally takes place in quiet and less crowded places. Another bonus point for nature lovers, it is an outdoor sport.

Enjoying nature
Especially new canoeists should read these explanations carefully before starting the trip, so that they can prepare themselves for the demands of the water. Canoeing is probably the most beautiful way to enjoy nature. But this also requires that you behave correctly in nature.

Appropriate behaviour on the water

Please leave animals alone and do not drive in reeds or water lilies
Do not throw garbage in the water or leave it lying on the shore
Rest and grill only at designated places
Be careful when locking and do not push anyone away
Do not paddle in darkness, thunderstorms or when drunk
Pay attention to other water sportsmen and paddle with foresight

Discoveries from the water

Canoeists often experience natural beauties that can only be seen from the water. Help us to preserve them! What can you do? If you are travelling with an organiser, get a detailed introduction to canoeing. Insist on a river description that you can take with you on your river trip. The river description should provide information on all entry and exit points, rest and overnight stops as well as special natural areas marked on a map. In addition, you should be instructed by the organiser on the special features of the nature of the respective river.
