Canoe Tour "Schmilka - Dresden" - Elbe

An excellent choice for ambitious hobby paddlers. You start the canoe trip through Saxon Switzerland in Schmilka and can admire various highlights of this region, such as the Königstein fortress, the Bastei bridge and the towns of Wehlen and Pirna directly from the water. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Tour programme
We meet directly on site in Schmilka, 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 5-7h before reaching your destination, our canoe station. There you can give us your equipment back and take the S-Bahn back to Schmilka. 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.
