Pick the right launch
Choose a start point that matches your skill and time—Außenalster for open water, Isebek or Goldbekkanal for calmer canal paddling.
Protect gear from water
Bring a waterproof dry bag for phones, keys and snacks—canoes can take on splashes during loading and turning.
Flag dietary needs early
The barbecue is a communal buffet—notify the operator of allergies or strict diets when you book.
Watch weather and wind
Canal paddling is pleasant in light wind but gusts can make longer loops tiring; check the forecast before you launch.
