Your trip
You have always wanted to do it?
But you are not quite sure?
Then you are exactly right here! The Altmühl is not only THE paddling river among ‘pros’. This leisurely stream, which prides itself as the slowest in Bavaria, offers you ideal opportunities to get to know the country from a whole new perspective. For long stretches you will think: I’ve never experienced Germany like this before!
Bets?
Bet!
It’s amazing how much our perspective shapes our perception. You will see: Germany is a jungle country …
The Altmühl enchants with its very special tranquility! Very quickly you will get used to the paddling technique and begin to appreciate the boat as your very own nutshell. Haste and stress fall away in an instant as soon as your paddle dips into that river for the first time. Herons nest on the banks. Swans swim proudly by. Baroque castles, mighty fortresses, fortresses, beautiful old towns and the Bavarian Gemütlichkeit await you, as soon as you put on somewhere…
And who knows? You might make friends with a beaver. In the Altmühl Valley you will feel transported to times long past. Dive in and enjoy the heavenly peace on the water!
Oh, by the way, you can also paddle the tour with kayaks. Please indicate this as a comment when booking if you would like a kayak.
