Tour programme
We meet directly on site in Rathen, where you can get your canoes and the rest of your equipment. A short briefing follows. Then we can get started. Depending on how fast you paddle, you will be on the Elbe for about 3-4h before reaching your destination, our canoe station. There you can give us your equipment back and take the S-Bahn back to Rathen. If you arrive by car, you can also leave your car at the canoe station (An der Wostra 7, 01259 Dresden) and take the S-Bahn (S1) to the starting point of the tour in Rathen.
