Tour
Du liebst das Abenteuer? Bereits beim Einsetzen des Kanus wirst du von dem fröhlichen Plätschern der Trave begrüßt. Die Mittlere Trave ist das am schnellsten fließende Gewässer in der Region. Da die Trave aber seit Jahrhunderten wirtschaftlich genutzt wurde, gibt es immer wieder Staus, wo es dann wesentlich ruhiger zugeht. Der schwierigste Abschnitt ist die unbefestigte Umsatzstelle an der Sühlener Mühle. Wer sich gern bewegen mag und keine Angst vor ein paar sportlichen Einlagen hat, für den ist diese Tour genau die richtige Wahl.
Adventure Tips
Check Water Levels Before Departure
The Trave’s navigability depends on the 'Rot-Grün' water gauge; avoid trips during 'Rot' levels to ensure safety.
Prepare for Portages Along the Route
Expect two to three short portages requiring you to carry your canoe around obstacles or shallow stretches.
Wear Comfortable, Quick-Drying Clothing
Light, moisture-wicking apparel enhances comfort during active paddling and occasional stops in wet environments.
Bring Waterproof Storage for Valuables
Use provided or personal waterproof containers to protect phones, cameras, and snacks from splashes.
