CANOEING THROUGH UNSPOILED NATURE
Drops fall from the paddle onto the smooth surface of the water; a heron takes flight from the reeds—you’ll find nature right at eye level while canoeing through Deutschlands Seenland. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, and Berlin, interconnected rivers, secluded lakes, and pristine nature reserves are waiting to be discovered.
Beavers, otters, and kingfishers greet the day, and in the midday sun, a white-tailed eagle circles high above you. All you need now is a canoe rental. Along the route of your canoe trip, you’ll find numerous rental shops as well as bivouac sites and campgrounds. And for your lunch break, the nearest Waterside rest area isn’t far away.
The Most Beautiful Canoe Trips
Magical. Mysterious. Canoe trips.
In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern flows the “Amazon of the North,” the Peene, one of Europe’s last pristine rivers. Tucked away in the very south of Brandenburg lies a primeval forest: the Spreewald is a paradise for canoeists. In between lies a treasure trove of routes—from a day trip with the family near Berlin to a paddling tour with your dog in Brandenburg.
There’s something for everyone: In the bays of the Mecklenburg Lake District, you’ll find swimming spots; along the Warnow River, there are whitewater rapids; and in the Westhavelland, you’ll find water beneath your keel and a star park above. On the lakes of the Uckermark, the tip of your canoe will lead you straight into the sunset.
A hidden gem in southeast Berlin is the idyllic Neu-Venedig neighborhood. Just like in Italy, the Müggelsee branches out into canals here.
Deutschlands Seenland
What's so special about that?
A humorous road trip through Deutschlands Seenland: Paul and his dog Hanni explore Berlin, Brandenburg, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern by canoe and tent—with a healthy dose of irony and witty commentary. An entertaining journey through nature, adventure, and quirky encounters.
Adventures on the Water
Unspoiled river landscapes, crystal-clear lakes, and pristine waterways make canoeing in the Mecklenburg Lake District, the Peenetal, and the Nationalpark Unteres Odertal a truly unique experience. Tranquil waters, rare wildlife, and unspoiled wilderness await you.
