Itinerary

Kayak-Tour on the Neckar in Heidelberg See the city from a new perspective! A tour that has it all. It offers unforgettable moments in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We explore Old Bridge, Castle, the waterfront and much more. And we get very close to the famous Hackteufel at the Neckar. We paddle in comfortable and very safe Solo- and Tandem-Kayaks on the Neckar. No experience in paddling required. The groups are small with a personal touch. The views to Old Town and Neuenheim, and Old Bridge and the castle are just top. And we are looking for the famous Hackteufel. Be prepared to be surprised. We start at a central location in Heidelberg in the old town part. First, there is a brief paddle technique instruction and we say a few words about safety. Then we start: We will glide the kayaks into the water and paddle up the river, along the Marstall, the old town, and beneath the Old Bridge. Then we cross the Neckar and drift with the current on the other side. Depending on the group, we paddle around 4 km. On the Neuenheim side we cross the Neckar again, and finish the tour at the same place.
