Overview
-
This beautiful round trip shows Leipzig both from its natural side, as well as the charm of industrial architecture on the water. The average distance is easy to handle for beginners and also offers paddlers with more experience one or the other challenge.
The tour starts in the city harbor Leipzig. When you arrive, you will meet your guide and get a detailed introduction to paddling and safety aspects.
From the city harbor we drive past the villa of the famous publisher family Baedeker and the imposing Palmgarten weir on the Elsterflutbett. Along Leipzig's largest park, the Clara Zetkin Park, we paddle to the racecourse in Scheibenholz. After the Leipzig corner, continue to the Leipzig Canoe Club. Here, the boats have to be transported a short distance. Then we follow the White Elster back to the city. Here we pass among other things the Buntgarnwerke and finally reach the city harbor.
