This canoe tour through Leipzig leads from the city harbor through "Little Venice" into the Karl Heine Canal and is a great experience for beginners as well as for advanced paddlers.
First, you will receive a detailed introduction into paddling techniques and safety aspects from your guide. From the city harbor, you will paddle along the Elstermühlgraben, past the villa of the famous Baedeker publishing family and the imposing Palmgartenwehr, onto the Stadtelster. Here you follow the river through the western districts of Schleußig and Plagwitz, passing the villa of Dr. Carl Heines and Mey & Edlich, Germany's oldest mail-order company still in business.
The Karl Heine Canal begins at the Buntgarnwerke in Schleußig. On this canal, you paddle along the "Riverboat" to the "Stelzenhaus", where there is time for a short break. Back at the city harbor, you can look forward to a cool drink at the beach bar.
