See everything Dresden has to offer from the water. That's exactly what you can do on this tour. You will pass the "Blauen Wunder", Dresden's Elbe castles, the old town and the Altneustädter, as well as the port of Pieschner Hafen. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Tour programme
We meet directly at our canoe rental in Wostra (reachable e.g. by bus line 86 - stop "Freibad Wostra"), where you can get your canoes and the rest of your equipment from us. A short briefing follows. Then we can get started. Depending on how fast you paddle, you will be on the Elbe for about 2,5-3,5h before reaching your destination, Dresden-Cotta. We recommend that you arrive and depart by public transport (tram & bus), or by bike. We will gladly transport your bikes free of charge to the destination of your canoe tour!
