KANU-CENTER KREBS KG is a regional canoe and bike rental operator based in Traventhal, Schleswig-Holstein. The company provides a range of paddling experiences and bike rentals across the Wakenitz, Schaalsee and Schaalseekanal areas, offering short two-hour options, flexible full-day rentals and multi-kilometre premium tours with personentransfer.
Trips include guided routes such as the Wakenitzrunde and extended Premiumtouren on the Untere Trave and Wakenitz, as well as self-guided rentals. Equipment offerings include canoes, safety gear and maps; bike rentals are supplied through Mietfahrrad der Firma Koech (Koech bikes available at Ratzeburg and Schaalsee-Camp stations). Many packaged experiences feature an introductory safety briefing and clear check-in procedures. Bike returns are required at the issuing rental station when using the Koech rental service.
KANU-CENTER KREBS KG operates in partnership with local venues and nature-park staff for selected tours — for example, the Naturpark-Tour includes a hike and canoe leg with insights from nature park rangers and a stop at the Kutscherscheune. Several premium routes list personentransfer options to simplify logistics for paddlers.
The business offers both short, beginner-friendly activities and longer routes up to the 28 km Untere Trave option. Information, maps and equipment details are provided at check-in locations, and tours list required participant preparations such as weather-appropriate clothing and snacks.
