The Karl Heine Canal Canoe Tour takes you from the city harbor through “Little Venice” into the Karl Heine Canal and is an experience for both beginners and advanced paddlers.
The tour starts in the city port of Leipzig. We are only a few minutes' walk from the city center and, thanks to our central location in the Leipzig water system, are the perfect starting point for exploring. Once you arrive at our place, you will meet your tour guide and get a detailed introduction to paddling technology
and safety aspects.From the city harbor, we drive on the Elstermühlgraben, past the villa of the famous Baedeker family and the impressive palm garden weir, onto the White Elster. Here we follow the river through the western districts of Schleußig and Plagwitz and pass Villa Dr. Carl Heines and Mey & Edlich, Germany's oldest still active mail-order company. The Karl Heine Canal begins at Buntgarnwerke in Schleußig. On this, we paddle under the riverboat to the stilt house, where it is time for a breather. With a bit of luck, pikes and redfeathers can be observed in the clear water of the channel. On the way back, you will have the opportunity to admire all the sights from a different angle.
After returning to the city harbor, you can end your tour at the beach bar and enjoy a well-deserved drink.
