Right in the city and yet right in nature - Urban Paddling at its best
Starting from the Paddel-und-Pedal station Emden, you paddle on the Emden city moat. The route leads through the park-like ramparts, once completely around the town center. Many other canals flow into the Emden city moat, so the discovery route can be extended as desired.

All participants should be confident swimmers.
Alcohol consumption is not allowed on the water either.
Keep distance from other watercraft. Canoes always have to give way and are sometimes poorly seen by motorboat drivers.
