About Lahntours
Lahntours organizes guided and self-guided canoe trips and operates riverside campsites on the Lahn River in Germany. The company offers a broad catalog of single-day paddles, short weekend routes and multi-day tours ranging from day trips up to eight-day expeditions. Departure points include Weilburg, Runkel, Solms-Schohleck, Dorlar, Aumenau and Wetzlar, with routes that pass hand-operated and automatic locks, historic towns, castle views and Germany’s only ship tunnel on the Weilburg–Runkel day tour.
On-site camping options include Lahntours–Campingplatz Runkel and the Zeltplatz Solms-Schohleck. Accommodations range from traditional tent pitches and RV hookups with parking and electricity to furnished six-person tipis with beds. Stays are available for single nights up to week-long campsite bookings; festival periods such as the local Kirmes (late August to early September) create a lively atmosphere at Runkel.
Practical services include bicycle rental in Solms, equipment logistics for multi-day canoe tours, and coordinated check-in and check-out procedures. Lahntours describes family-friendly short tours as well as challenging 28 km day routes for experienced paddlers. Safety elements on the river routes include navigating locks and planned rest stops like beer gardens along the way.
Lahntours emphasizes local river expertise, a wide range of packaged trips, and campsite amenities. The company’s published trip list provides clear options for day paddles, multi-day tours and overnight campsite stays along the Lahn.
Bookings cover one-night stays through multi-day itineraries, and guests can combine canoeing with campsite nights or bike rental for flexible travel along the Lahn corridor throughout the paddling season annually.
