Gourmet tour on the Old Main In Astheim, opposite Volkach, behind the weir, we get into the kayak.  The reason is simple: Volkach offers everything a paddler's heart desires, but if you start there, you have to cross the Main directly and carry around the first weir (possibly lock/slide?) - we wanted to avoid that. The route to Köhler is very varied; in Köhler there is a great Yellow Wave landing stage and right behind it a restaurant (not self-tested) The Abbey of Münsterschwarzach is a good landmark; unfortunately, the Yellow Wave area here is not as well developed as in other parts of the tour (if you know it, it's still okay ;o))

Introduction

The Kitzinger Land is a true paradise for all water sports enthusiasts and nature-loving adventurers among you. With a breathtaking landscape, numerous bodies of water, and a unique cultural heritage, this region offers everything that makes a kayaker's heart beat faster. Whether athletically ambitious or looking for relaxing leisure activities – everyone gets their money's worth kayaking in this picturesque environment.

Geographical Location

Kitzingen is located in the heart of Franconia, surrounded by gentle hills, vineyards, and idyllic villages. The geographical location on the banks of the Main makes it an ideal starting point for exciting kayaking tours. The Main flows through a varied landscape with many small side arms as well as quiet bays, which are perfect for your next kayaking adventures.

On which waters can you kayak?

In Kitzingen, you can kayak on various waters: The majestic Main runs through the entire region and offers numerous opportunities for paddling along its banks. Here you will find both quiet sections and exciting currents for a little more adrenaline during your kayaking tours. In addition, there are some smaller lakes like the Wörrstädter Weiher or the Rottendorfer See near Würzburg, where ideal conditions for kayaking also exist.

The right equipment

For a successful kayaking adventure, you should be well equipped! Your basic equipment includes, besides the kayak itself, double paddles and life jackets for safety. Depending on the weather, helmets may be useful; especially if you plan to navigate more demanding routes or are out in strong winds. Many local providers not only provide the equipment but also offer guided tours – so you are in good hands!

Attractions along the route

During your kayaking trip, you will be able to discover many impressive sights:

  • The old town of Kitzingen: This charming town has a lot of history to tell! During a break on the shore, you have a wonderful view of historic buildings such as the old town hall or the collegiate church of St. Johannes.
  • Wine landscape: You paddle past endless vineyards; maybe you would also like to stop and visit a local winemaker? The wine festivals are especially popular!
  • Giebelstadt castle ruins: A small detour is definitely worth it! From up there you have a magnificent view over the Main valley. From here you can then jump back into the water directly! Another highlight is certainly the possibility to combine your tour with other activities – be it cycling or hiking along the Main or simply relaxing and enjoying a picnic on the shore! Speaking of relaxation – don't forget that the Main also offers perfect spots for swimming when you need cooling off!
    The area around the Wörrstädter Weiher is particularly suitable for this.. with its white sandy beaches it practically invites you to bring your paddleboard and drift relaxedly on the water letting your soul unwind.. However, the fun doesn't end here - if you want even more action, you can also find some providers that offer whitewater kayaking tours as well as rafting… in the summer these are especially popular, so keep an eye out for them! There are therefore plenty of reasons to get into a canoe and start paddling!! Conclusion: If you fancy nature, excellent food and exciting activities, then definitely come to the Kitzinger Land!!!

    Wunderbar! Sehr schöne Tour. Wir hatten früh ein Rad am Ausstieg deponiert, weil unser Wohnmobil on Volkach am Stellplatz stand. Vom Ausstieg sind es mit dem Rad 15-20 Minuten bis man wieder in Volkach ist (immer direkt am Kamal entlang, nicht die Schleife). Danke für die schöne Tourempfehlung!
