What it is

Gondelfox brings to Werder a gondola handmade in Venice. It is rowed by Alexander Fuchs, who learned the voga alla veneta, the standing rowing of the gondoliers. The boat is yours alone, for two to four people, and glides along the calm arms of the Havel around the island.

How it works

You book on their website either one hour (€129) or the one-and-a-half-hour Tour Marco (€179), per boat. You leave from the quay at Am Mühlenberg 1, at the foot of the mill. You can add a picnic (from €39), drinks (from €29), flowers or live music. If it rains, the date is changed at no cost.

Tips

  • Go at sunset The light on the Havel is the best part of the trip.
  • Split it four ways The price is per boat: for four it works out at about €32 per person.
