More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat eases away from a stone quay and the canals fold open like streets of glass — narrow channels catching brick facades, gabled roofs reflected and re-formed. On this private electric cruise for up to 12 people, the water leads the way: it nudges under wooden drawbridges, slips past 17th‑century merchant houses, and threads the quieter backwaters the big ships cannot reach.
