Water hiking, i.e. navigating waters by canoe, has a very special appeal. Because from the boat you get a whole new perspective on nature. In Bavaria, there are numerous rivers and lakes that are particularly suitable for this. We explain what’s important and introduce you to a few particularly beautiful routes for water hiking in Bavaria.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bavaria there are various possibilities for canoe tours. On the numerous idyllic lakes near the Alps you can make round trips of different sizes. This is especially interesting for day trips. For tours lasting several days, you can explore the rivers of Bavaria. However, the problem is that you have to get back to your starting point at the end of your tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why we have selected a few tours where you can either use public transportation or – if you want to rent your boat anyway – use the well-organized return service of the local canoe rentals to get back to your starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tour planning for water hiking in Bavaria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning a canoe trip of several days, it is important to find suitable daily stages. After all, at the end of a successful day on the water you want to arrive somewhere where you can spend the night or possibly stop for a bite to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The length of a day’s paddle depends on the speed of the water, the size of your boat, and your paddling technique and endurance. As a beginner, you can plan on 15 to 20 kilometers on most easily navigable rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention:<\/strong> Nature conservation is very important in canoeing. After all, you want to preserve the nature you enjoy. Therefore, pay attention to possible driving bans in nature reserves and closed seasons. You should also find out in advance where it is allowed to moor and leave the boat. This way you avoid disturbing the animals in the waters unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending the night while water hiking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When water hiking, it is a good idea to spend the night in a tent. Along the common rivers, there are usually tent and camping sites, sometimes also near-natural boat rest areas. On busy rivers, there are usually canoe rentals that also offer overnight accommodations. In addition, canoe stations of the German Canoe Association (DKV)<\/a> (Link just in German) can be found in some places. The easiest way to find out about overnight accommodations is to contact your local tourist information office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now to our tour suggestions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tour 1: Canoeing on the Altm\u00fchl between Gunzenhausen and Dietfurt\/T\u00f6ging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A real classic for water hiking in southern Germany is the Altm\u00fchltal. Here you can enjoy nature in a very relaxed way. Because the Altm\u00fchl is the slowest river in Bavaria and therefore also suitable for inexperienced boat hikers and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
