Kayak · 2 h to a day · Hire in Lübbenau · Paddle yourself along the canals to Lehde and beyond

What it is
If you prefer to paddle yourself, you hire a canoe or kayak in Lübbenau and set out along the canals with a map. The water barely flows and there are no waves, so you do not need experience for a short outing. A classic route, the Lübbenau Spreewald Discoverers' route, makes a 19-kilometre circuit around Lehde in about four hours of paddling.
How it works
Bootsverleih Richter, at Dammstraße 75, hires out for 2, 3 or 4 hours or for the day, with departures from 9:00 to 16:00; they give you the boat, paddles and the map. It has leisure boats, touring kayaks and wider, more stable boats designed for families. On the canals you may only paddle until an hour after sunset.
