Highlights
Outing Highlights
A quiet, stand‑deep waterway
The tour follows the Lohne, a very quiet, small river described as stand‑deep—an environment that keeps the paddling relaxed and accessible for school groups.
Certified guides, life jackets and first‑aid
Every participant receives a suitable swimming vest, and the tour is accompanied by a trained canoe guide who holds first‑aid and lifeguard qualifications to provide on‑water instruction and safety oversight.
Built for school groups and integrative classes
The program is structured for different grade levels: a half‑way, Pausenplatz start with a ~1.5‑hour canoe course is used up to 7th grade; Mannschaftsboote (up to 12 people) are used for classes up to 5th grade; the arrangement is noted as particularly suitable for integrative school classes.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
The day is a paced mix of instruction and calm paddling: safety briefing and fitted life jackets, an introductory canoe course for younger groups, a roughly 45‑minute lunch pause, and then a guided paddle that finishes in Diepholz. The emphasis is on learning, group work and low‑stress exploration rather than speed or distance.
