Across three hours on the lake you get movement, fresh air and unobstructed views of Bodensee nature—an effective, outdoor session without a long commitment.
What the day feels like
What three hours on a team canoe feels like
This is an ungeführte, hands-on exercise: after a meeting and equipment pick-up you and your group take a team canoe onto the Bodensee for a focused three‑hour session of coordinated paddling, team drills and open-water cruising. The emphasis is on group leadership and collective effort rather than on instruction from the operator.
