Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SETTING

Sunset picnic on Ammersee

The experience culminates in a sunset picknick on the Ammersee — a deliberately small, partnered moment on the water designed for quiet shared views as daylight fades.

THE TEACHING

Beginner‑friendly SUP courses and rentals

Boards are rented directly from the station and friendly trainers run short, practical lessons aimed at beginners who want to learn stand‑up paddling a few metres from the beach.

THE ETHOS

Safety, simple rules and respect for the lake

The operator emphasises a safety‑first approach: participants must be able to swim, wear life vests as required, keep the SUP leash attached, follow trainer instructions and leave no trace on the shore.

What the day feels like

What the evening feels like

Over three hours at the water’s edge you move from shore drills to paddling small stretches of the Ammersee, led by trainers who prioritise safety and a low‑pressure learning environment; the session is timed to include a sunset picnic that frames the outing as a compact, memorable partner experience.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should think twice.

1
Active couplesDesigned as a paired, sunset experience, it suits couples seeking a short, shared outdoor activity on the water provided both partners can swim and follow safety rules.
2
Beginners and first‑time paddlersThe course targets novices with on‑shore instruction and board rentals, but beginners must be able to swim and comply with the operator’s safety rules.
3
Non‑swimmers or those uncomfortable in open waterNot recommended: the operator requires participants to be able to swim and to wear life vests as indicated, so non‑swimmers should not join.
4
Families with confident older childrenFamilies may participate only if each person meets the swim and safety requirements and trainers deem the group composition appropriate; safety rules and vest requirements apply.
